A little bit about me

I am an empty nester having raised 4 kids who are now 19-27!
I am moving back to the area to be closer to my mother.
I've worked in the education, medical and the interior design field.
I am expanding options for myself for when I move back to the Chevy Chase area and realized I loved my stay- at- home years with my kids and welcome the idea of being integral in a young family's life; and would like to be able to ease concerns in the care of your children.

A little bit about me

I am a friendly and caring person. I adapt well to change, and love kids. I enjoy being outdoors as well as indoors. I have a creative side, which can keep me and kids occupied for hours. I enjoy reading and movies, and am a total foodie. I also love animals, very pet friendly. I am responsible and very communicative, I believe every relationship be it personal or professional only lasts as long as there is clear communication and under between both parties. For every problem there is a solution, besides trust, respect also plays a big part in the professional field.

A little bit about me

Namaste,



My name is Iman and I am a enthusiastic and energetic Nanny who enjoys hiking with my lab, yoga, gardening, and sitting for my neighbors!
I am currently in school to become a natural path at the washing institute of natural medicine.
I love being a nanny because it allows me to be a helping hand to not only the children but to the parents as well by taking care the housekeeping, running errands and taking care of the pet care. But the best part is getting the chance to interact with the adorable children, keeping them safe, being a role model, and all while having a great time.

A little bit about me

Career nanny with 15+ years experience looking to partner with a great family. The love for my job is reflected by the care that I give to my littles and the relationships formed with the family’s. Reading is one of my passions and I’ve been fortunate to share that with the tikes I care for (and it's paid off, they all love books). I stay active and engaged (not on the phone), I am fully present. My references can speak for the enjoyment I get out of spending time with my kiddos as well as my character, dependability, patience, safe care and the love my little humans are showered with.

After 7 yrs full time with my current family (3 yrs live-out Hoboken, NJ /4yrs live-in Chevy Chase) the twins have now joined O. in school full time. It’s a heartbreaking transition when you’re not seeing these little faces every day, however I am excited to connect with new little people and explore life with them.

Also, new parents have always found me to be an asset and I take pride in that.

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

Bethesda 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.
