A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Emily and I have approximately 7 years of experience providing engaging and trusting childcare services for families across Baltimore and Harford counties. I am looking for a part time position in the Hampden area, with flexibility in my availability.
I am one semester away from graduating with my B.S. in Environmental Studies and Sustainability! I plan to utilize my knowledge to create engaging content for children related to their natural environment, with the goal of fostering kind, thoughtful, and happy children!
On an average day with your child, we will enjoy reading, crafts, age-appropriate activities, and child-led exploration! (Ask me more about this, and how we can adapt these ideas to fit your child’s interests and care plans best!)
My goal as your childcare provider is to build a trusting relationship with you in order to provide the best care possible. Please ask any questions better to learn how I may fit your family’s needs!
References available!

A little bit about me

Hi families,

I’m a professional nanny with over six years of experience caring for children from newborn through early childhood, with a strong specialization in infants and toddlers (0–3 years). Supporting early development is truly my passion. I love being part of a child’s growth from those earliest days, helping them build trust, confidence, and curiosity about the world.

Current Availability:
I recently welcomed my own baby, who is now 3 months old. I am seeking a position where I can bring him with me to work. I have already been successfully doing this with my current family. I am also happy to host care in my home, depending on the needs and preferences of the family.

If you’re looking for a nurturing, experienced nanny who is deeply committed to child development and creating a loving, structured environment, I would love to connect.

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Baltimore, MD

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 Baltimore can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Baltimore 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 Maryland?
  • Do you have a Maryland 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.
