A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Paris. I just graduated high school from DMA. I'm 18 years old and I've been babysitting pretty much as long as I can remember. I babysit many younger family members, and also worked at a daycare with children 6 months - 7 years old. I'm looking for a steady babysitting job for the rest of summer before I go to college. My availability is pretty flexible and around the clock. I'm going to college for elementary education and love working with children. I have my own car and am able to provide transportation as well. I think it's super important to build a trusting relationship with a family in order to provide children and their parents comfort when I have supervision over their children. I'm also always okay with a last minute scheduling if needed! Please feel free to reach out and discuss more to see if I would be a right fit for what you and/or your family is looking for!

A little bit about me

I am a mom to a 26 year old son. I have plenty of experience taking care of children, especially newborn to 4-5 yrs old. When I was in school I took nursing courses (not a nurse though) and took clinical courses at Christiana Hospital and A. I. DuPont Hospital for children. I treat every child as if they were my own . I adore children and take very good care of them. I have a flexible schedule. I love pets as well. I do not mind light house keeping and tidying up. You can feel very comfortable knowing that your child/children will be in the very best care with me. I have my own transportation as well.

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.
