A little bit about me

I'm a 42-year-old single mother with over 17 years of licensed childcare experience and 3 years of working as a dedicated nanny. Being both an educator and a parent has shaped me into a deeply intuitive caregiver who understands the importance of consistency, kindness, and structure in a child's daily life.

From planning thoughtful activities to encouraging self-expression and developmental growth, I take a hands-on approach to meet each child right where they are. I value open communication with families and creating environments where children feel safe, supported, and loved.

If you are looking for someone who brings professional expertise and the heart of a mother, I would love to connect and learn more about your family's needs.

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Jami! I’m currently enrolled in the hairstylist program at the Aveda Institute, and I’ve always been someone who puts my heart into everything I do. I’m naturally nurturing, patient, and creative, and I love forming real connections with people, especially kids. I’m the kind of person who’s always thinking one step ahead, stays calm under pressure, and isn’t afraid to get silly when it makes someone smile. I’ve have experience caring for children and what matters most to me is creating a space where they feel safe, seen, and loved. I believe little moments, like giggling in the grass or reading the same story for the tenth time, it can have the biggest impact. I’m also reliable, organized, and genuinely enjoy being someone families can count on. I’d love to be a positive part of your child’s life and support your family however I can.

Hi! My name is Jirah Everett. I am 20 years old and currently residing in Laurel,MD. I am looking for new employment as I have the next six months off from my university.

I have childcare experience and CPR experience as I volunteered with the firefighting and emt department. I am looking for full time availability and a family I can call a second one and not this just be another job.

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

Laurel 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.
