A little bit about me

Hi there!

I’m a friendly, and patient young lady looking for a part-time or full-time position as a nanny or dog-walker/sitter. I love working with children and have 4 yrs of experience babysitting kids of various ages, from infants all the way up to 6th graders. Whether it’s engaging in fun activities, helping with homework, or simply providing care and companionship, I always make sure that the children in my care feel safe, happy, and well taken care of.

In addition to babysitting, I’m also great with pets! If you're looking for someone who will give your dog the attention, love, and exercise they need, I’m here to help. Whether it's walking, sitting, or playing with your furry friend, I’m reliable.

A little bit about me

I am 47 years old and from Brazil. I came to America 18 months ago. I have taken care of children for many years, including my own 17-year-old son. I have worked with special needs children, including two children where one was special needs and the other wasn't. I was raised with the ethic of the importance of caring for others. I speak only a little English (my husband is translating for me here), but I can do the job and make the children feel loved and cared for, and be well-fed. If you have pets that is great because I love animals. I have worked as a housecleaner, first in Philadelphia and now in Delaware (I moved here last summer because my now-husband lives and works here).

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.
