A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Jean-Pierre Vassor, a college graduate with a degree in psychology. I have three younger sisters, and being the eldest has given me a natural sense of protectiveness. I often describe myself as having an "older sibling complex," always looking out for others, especially kids. My personality blends enthusiasm and poise. I’m passionate about psychology and helping others, but I also know how to stay grounded. Growing up with my sisters, I developed a strong connection to kids, and I love offering guidance and emotional support. I aim to be a positive, steady influence, providing the care and attention children need to thrive. Whether professionally or personally, I’m committed to supporting and nurturing younger people.

A little bit about me

I've worked at a trampoline park with kids from all age ranges coming in and my duty was to ensure a safe but fun jumping environment that I mastered and soon became a supervisor. I also tutor math and English for kids at Kumon. I have also volunteered at grassroots looking over kids that struggle with financial stability. I am Burmese-American, and speak fluent Burmese. I have a younger brother who is 11. I am a college student who plans to gain my masters in public health and hopefully start my own NGO one day by helping kids around the world.

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

Columbia 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.
