"To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to recommend Jill Simon, who served as our nanny for three years, primarily during the summer months when our children were out of school. Jill consistently demonstrated exceptional punctuality, ensuring she was always on time and ready to engage with the children. Her communication skills were outstanding, keeping us well-informed and involved in our children's daily activities. Moreover, Jill proved to be highly responsible, managing multiple tasks with ease and always prioritizing the safety and well-being of our kids. I highly recommend Jill for any position requiring dedication, reliability, and strong interpersonal skills. Sincerely, Justin"

A little bit about me…

I've lived in 5 countries, ran my own business as a mindset coach, and have worked with kids as an au pair and in sports programs for about 3 years. What I love most about working with kids is the psychology of caretaking. I am trauma-informed, hence my style of taking care of kids relies on patience and developing emotional maturity. I love nature, being active, and inspiring creativity in kids of all ages. I'm self-motivated, honest, and the type of person people feel healed by being around. I'd love to be considered for your family!

Also, I am wilderness EMT certified.

A little bit about me…

I am an actor in Chicago! Because of the pandemic, I am looking to be a nanny since theatre is on hold for the foreseeable future. I have my BFA in Acting from The Theatre School at DePaul University. Other than acting, I am a musician, avid reader, and adore kids! I’ve babysit for ten years, from three weeks old to teenagers. I have experience with twins, and groups of more than five kids. I have spent 5 years teaching theatre and being a camp counselor at multiple schools and camps. I am comfortable with all ages. My favorite thing about spending time with kids is watching them grow and being a part of that development. I also love to cook and am happy to make meals.

A little bit about me…

Hi there, I graduated from Texas Christian University with a communication major and sociology minor. I am now living in Aspen working at the Snowmass Club. I have been babysitting since I was around 14 years old. I watch kids of all ages and especially enjoy spending time going on adventures, doing arts and crafts, coaching sports, giving music lessons, helping with homework, and much more. Over the years I have worked as a camp counselor at a local sports day camp with kids from grades 4 to 8. With that, I have been babysitting and nannying off and on whenever I can. One summer I nannied for a 10-year-old girl, Monday through Friday. When I was at school I babysat consistently for two kids, one 3-year-old girl, and one 8-year-old boy. On top of that, I take one-time jobs when I can. I am a very safe driver with a clean record and would absolutely love to help your family out!

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Basalt, CO

Before beginning the search for a babysitter, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a babysitter is the right choice for your child care needs. There are lots of benefits to hiring a babysitter such as getting the flexibility of having some more time for yourself or with your partner. When hiring a babysitter, first, you should explore the differences between a nanny and a babysitter. If you’re looking for occasional child care, babysitters are the right choice for you, but if you’re looking for more frequent care, a nanny may be better for your needs.

From there, you can think about what you expect your babysitter to handle so that you can create a profile for nannies to reach out to you. The boundaries for babysitters’ duties can vary from family to family. However, in general, a babysitter is responsible for making sure your kids’ needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example to housekeeping, laundry, or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your babysitter before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location in Basalt can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Basalt Babysitter Interviews

Once you start connecting with prospective babysitters, the next step is to conduct an interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some babysitter interview questions to consider asking:

  • Do you have experience being a babysitter?
  • What sort of household tasks are you open and comfortable doing?
  • Do you have any references?
  • Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in Colorado?
  • Do you have a Colorado driver’s license? Do you own a car?
  • How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?

During the hiring process, it’s essential to ask for references and by asking their references questions you gain a better understanding of they will fit in your family. As you get closer to hiring a nanny, be sure to run a background check to ensure your kids are in good hands. When evaluating a babysitter that you’re considering hiring, make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your babysitter. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around babysitter responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming!

And of course, as you learn how to hire a babysitter, Nanny Lane's nanny services are here to help you along the way.
