A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Lilly Hebert. I graduated from The Hill School in May, a boarding school in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. Next year, I will be attending the University of Delaware to play Division I lacrosse. I am currently undecided academically, but plan on transferring into the Finance program.
I have several years of experience working with children. I babysat throughout middle school and worked as a camp counselor for two summers after that. During the past two summers of high school, I focused mainly on lacrosse and preparing to play at the college level. Now that I have graduated from my travel lacrosse team, I have more free time this summer and would love the opportunity to work with kids again.

I would describe myself as responsible, flexible, and funny, and I enjoy creating a positive and energetic environment for children. Being part of competitive sports has taught me strong communication, patience, leadership, and time-management skills, which I bring into every job I do.

A little bit about me

Hi! I am a 20 year old college student studying to be a nurse and I would love to work around children when I become one! I feel that becoming a nanny would allow me to work in a natural environment with children to be better acquainted and comfortable with kids further! I used to be an au pair in China last year with a family for about 9 months and learned I loved working with children and would like to continue doing so back in the states! I am CPR-First Aid certified and have a drivers license as well.

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Greenville, 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 Greenville can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Greenville 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.
