A little bit about me

Ever since I can remember, I have loved children. When I was too young to watch them myself, I would go with my sister and help baby sit with her. From the age of 12, I have been paid to watch many kids ranging from newborns to teens. Most recently before I got married and moved out to Delaware, I was regularly watching a 3-year-old boy once a week as well as being a nanny to twin 1 1/2-year-old girls for a year and a half. Each child is so different and knowing that, I would love to come along side of you and help to ensure that each kid gets the right upbringing. I am not here to take your place but instead to help you along the way to the best of my ability. I know your children are the world to you and if I do end up helping with your kids, know that I will treat them as they were my own (if I had any). I work during the nights and am looking to work a few hours during the day. Thank you for your time and I look forward to meeting you if I seem like the right fit for your family.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Karen. I am seeking a nanny position. I have experience working as a nanny, tutor, and teacher, (K-12).
My nanny experience, from [phone number hidden], was a rich and rewarding experience. I was able to provide trustworthy, quality care for four families on a full-time basis.
From 2007-present I worked as a teacher and tutor providing instruction for children, grades K-12, with a master's degree in Special Education.
I am now seeking a nanny position that will better suit the needs/ schedule of my family.
Whether teaching, tutoring, or nannying, what I have enjoyed most about working with children in my career is assisting them and watching them as they make positive discoveries, of their own, about the world around them! Whether it is the lightbulb moment where multiplication suddenly makes sense to them or they've discovered a new talent they possess, it is a joy to guide them throughout those discoveries and provide positive support.
I believe children thrive when given the right guidance and support in life. Helping steer them on their path of self and world discovery is what brings joy into any childcare profession. It's their successes and achievements that make it so rewarding to be a part of.
I have worked as a nanny (birth-teen/disabled), as a teacher (K-12), and a tutor (K-12). I am searching to find a nanny position that will add one more positive experience in my career!

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.
