A little bit about me

I am Ima, and my greatest joy comes from being a mother and grandmother. Each moment spent with my children and grandchild is precious, filled with laughter, love, and shared experiences. I delight in singing, playing, and exploring new recipes with them. My ability to connect deeply with others extends beyond my immediate family, as I lovingly cared for my parents, providing them with unwavering support and tenderness. My background in the civil service has equipped me with attention to detail and adaptability, qualities that help me nurture and strengthen the bonds within my family.

A little bit about me

Hi, My Name Is Lavoejah but everyone calls me Love, I Love children and been working with children since the age of 16, I'm now 26 and I also have children of my own, Ages 2,( girl ) age 3 ( boy ) and age 4( boy ). I've also worked with providing care for the elders as well. I don't think of this kind of job as babysitting really now that I'm a parent lol, I think of this as just giving some help to those in need because I understand how it can be especially when trying to find the right daycare centers or even the fear of having to put your child in a center to work. I treat all children as if they were my own because I love to have fun and love to make learning fun with songs, dances and our DIY (Do It Yourself)instruments that we would create out of anything. I do lighthouse keeping just to make sure you can have a clear mind when you return home to your child/children. Hope to hear from you soon, have a wonderful day.

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

Wilmington 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.
