A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Tatyana McRae, and I am 19 years old. After graduating from high school two years ago, I embarked on a journey to achieve my dreams by enrolling in a program called Stepful, where I am diligently working toward obtaining my certification as a pharmacy technician. At the same time, I am pursuing a degree in business administration at college, fueled by my ambition.

My passion for working with children has shaped my purpose, and over the past five years, I have gained invaluable experience in various childcare roles. Most recently, I had the incredible opportunity to work at a daycare, where engaging with the children filled me with joy as I contributed to their growth and development. Nurturing young minds and fostering their learning in a fun, supportive environment has only deepened my love for this meaningful work. I eagerly look forward to continuing this rewarding journey, dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of children.

A little bit about me

Hello! I am a freshman at Howard University. I grew up in New Jersey with 2 younger siblings and lots of cousins. As the oldest to a single mother I’m use to helping with homework, cooking, cleaning, and any other household chores. I’ve also been a lifeguard for 5 years so I am both CPR and First Aid certified. I have a drivers license as well as a car to help me and the kids get around. I am looking for a family i can take care of after class hours or before class.

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.
