A little bit about me

hi there! My name is Fernanda. I am new to nanny Lane however, I am not new to babysitting. I love taking care of babies and kids, especially under the age of 10 years old as I believe those are the most important years of nurturing and learning I have over 10 years of childcare experience. During middle school in high school, I balanced my free time with babysitting and enjoyed it. I am able to help with additional activity such as light housekeeping meal prep before, and after school care and transportation I have a background in healthcare and cautiously follow the proper COVID-19 regulations and guidelines I take my job very seriously. During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, reading watching favorite movies/TV shows I am fluent in English in Spanish, however, I’m always learning new skills.

Recent reference

"Sanaa was a reliable employee she was always on time and very professional. Sanaa is a fast learner and adapt to changes easily. She always showed up with a smile and help my children with potty training. She made sure there was structure in my home when I was not there. I was sadden when I had to move and no longer keep Sanaa as a children caregiver. However when I do come back into the area and need coverage she always has availablilty and/or makes time for me."

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

New Castle 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.
