A little bit about me

Hello! I am Victoria Pantoja and I was born in Caracas, Venezuela. After I graduated in 2023 from the university with a bachelor's degree in communication I emigrated to the United States and have had several jobs since I arrived, including two kindergartens where I work with children from infancy to school age.

I did a major in Audiovisual Arts so I love movies and art in general. Also, a huge fan of comedy podcasts in both languages. Since I arrived in the country, I had to use both languages simultaneously.

I love to work with children because I learn a lot about life and growth. I have one niece and one nephew, and they are my life.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Faith, and I’m a caring, dependable nanny who truly enjoys working with children. I have experience caring for young kids and love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they can learn and grow. I enjoy planning engaging activities like reading, spending time outdoors, arts and crafts, music, and creative play to help children stay curious and active.

I value patience, communication, and building trusting relationships with both children and parents. My long-term goal is to earn a PhD in forensic psychology, so education and learning are very important to me, and I enjoy encouraging curiosity and problem-solving in everyday moments.

I come from a close-knit family originally from Bolt, West Virginia, where my family had a farm. Growing up with those roots taught me responsibility, kindness, and the importance of caring for others—values I bring into my childcare every day.

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

Newark 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.
