A little bit about me

Extremely kind and almost a decade long of experience working with children. I am extremely dedicated to a family when working with them. I can almost always be flexible with hours so long as I have a heads up. Anything that has to do with babys hygiene, food, and any general housekeeping that involves the child I will and can do.

Recent reference

"Alicia was our nanny for our two girls and took care of both since they were babies. She loves our girls like they are her own, and we trust her completely. She’s kind, patient, careful, protective, easy to get along with and dependable. My husband and I are happy to speak to any prospective family to recommend Alicia."

I have been a private nanny for the last 27 years, I love the kids , I love my job and I am looking for a full time position as a nanny/home help, in one of my last jobs when the children started school full time. It was for the last 4 years doing laundry, cooking, grocery shopping and shopping for the kids. I want to apply all my life experience to help families. I have experience in activities outside and inside the home, I have good references, experience with children from newborns, babies, toddler, big kids. I have enjoyed my work with many families. As a nanny I have to work on education, food, creativity and much more, but I also learned because each child has added to my experience, and my good work has been excellent. because we have worked together with parents, as a Hispanic nanny I teach Spanish as a second language, I have experience sharing a nanny, , I enjoy their smiles, their love. I'm not going to talk about myself anymore, let the references do the talking.

A little bit about me

Hello there! I am a 26 year old nanny who loves exploring nature and values outdoor activities, pretend play, and engaging children in hands on activities such as baking, and pet care.

Nannying is very rewarding in the sense that you get to be present during moments of growth and progress, and know that you played a critical role in that.

I respect the methods of discipline executed by each family, and personally like to discipline while letting the child know that we are on the same team, and discuss ways we can have a better outcome next time.
I can't wait to meet you and discuss possibly caring for your family!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Jasmin Lopez, I am a 26 year old Hispanic woman working towards entrepreneurship. I attended Montgomery College working on a Psychology degree, to which I initially wanted to work as a therapist with children between the ages of 3 and up, however, as the years went on, I leaned more toward doula work to fulfill my desire of working with new and becoming mother and their new born children.

I am the eldest daughter of 5 children, having 2 brothers and 2 sisters and the second oldest of about 12 cousins! I’ve had tons and tons of learning experiences with children since I was 5 years old and continue to learn more as the years go by. I love children, I love puzzles, coloring, DIY projects! Some would say I never let the child in me grow old!

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

Silver Spring 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.
