A little bit about me

I have been a teacher, counselor, full time nanny, coach, and 4H leader for the past 15+ years. I studied child development, certified in early childhood education and taught in a professional setting at a wonderful preschool and kindergarten in Newark, DE for five years.

My classes sizes were consistently twelve to twenty children so caring for households with multiples is a breeze!

Besides teaching, I have had four full time nanny positions which were incredibly rewarding! I feel it is my job to support my families and uphold their rules, views and how they choose to raise their children.

I absolutely love the outdoors and spend as much time outside as I can. I spent much of my time growing up on a horse farm and I have been an avid rider, competitor, horse trainer, and coach for over 25 years.

I am dependable, professional, trustworthy with a strong work ethic. I would love the opportunity to meet with you.

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Clayton, DE

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 Clayton can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Clayton 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 Delaware?
  • Do you have a Delaware 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.
