A little bit about me

Hi Families! I am a proud graduate of the University of Delaware, where I earned my Bachelor's degree in Human Services with a minor in Family and Community Services. I've always had a deep love for working with children and families, and I'm looking to return to a field that truly brings me joy-childcare.
My background in human services has given me a strong foundation in understanding child development, family dynamics, and effective communication. I'm now seeking a position as a nanny where I can put that knowledge and passion to use. My goal is to find a supportive family I can assist while I prepare to take the next step in my career: pursuing a Master's degree.
I'm reliable, nurturing, and dedicated to creating a safe and engaging environment for the children I care for. I would love the opportunity to bring positivity, structure, and warmth into a home while helping to shape young minds during their most important years.

A little bit about me

Hello, I am a 29 year old mother of a 2 year old daughter who I live for. I’m very loving and have patience with all ages. I like to say I am a big kid at heart since I love playing/interacting with children whether it is playing with toys, coloring or even pretending to be the tickle monster. Being an assistant teacher at a childcare center taught me a lot about children in all age groups. I have 17 certifications in early childhood development. I love to sing even though I’m not very good at it lol. Since the age of 8 I have been raising my younger cousins. I am passionate about the well being of children and their curriculum. So I guarantee he or she will come up to mommy and daddy and say they learned something new. Bitter sweet moment for everybody.

Hi, I'm Olivia Foley! I'm an enthusiastic sitter with a passion for working with children. I am currently a student at the University of Delaware but I have hands-on experience as a Teacher's Aid at Suburban Hill School in New Jersey, since June 2021. I handle activities like playtime, meal serving, nap supervision, and teaching basic lessons and manners to children from infants to pre-kindergarten. I've also done informal babysitting, which has sharpened my patience and problem-solving skills. I enjoy creating a positive, engaging environment for kids and look forward to bringing my skills and enthusiasm to your family!

A little bit about me

I am a 21-year-old who is compassionate and caring when it comes to kids and animals. I have a 3-year-old cat named Nico who I love. I've also taken care of a few animals such as dogs, birds, and other animals. I'm a professional for grooming, feeding, bathing, and taking care of animals. I used to babysit kids who I was with at the church when their parents requested me, I also helped out in the preschool every last hour of every day my whole senior year of high school, and I basically raised my little brother because my mom was too sick to most of the time. One day, I want to focus on having a career either taking care of kids or animals because they are what define me as a person.

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.
