A little bit about me

Hi! I am a newly first-gen latina college graduate with a BA in Biology and a minors degree in Spanish Healthcare and Women’s Studies. I have two younger siblings, a 19-year old sister and 17-year old brother. Both of whom I have cared for while my parents were at home or we did not have a babysitter that day. I love to cook for myself, my family, and boyfriend. I’m an avid reader and enjoy going to the gym, biking, and swimming at the pool at my alma matter, the University of Delaware. I prioritize my family, health, and happiness to try and give myself and those in my life the best quality of life. I have close friends from when I attended High Tech High School who I spend my time with when I am back home in Jersey and we love going into NYC for the day. My happy place will always be the beach. Any beach will make me happy and my favorite beach buddy is my mom, and our favorite beach in NJ is Seabright!

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.
