A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Vanessa, I'm 26 and I'm from Brazil. I'm passionate about childcare and have over 4 years of experience caring for children of different ages, from infants to pre-teens.
- CPR & First Aid certified
- Responsible driver with experience driving kids
-Fully vaccinated
-Pet friendly and great cook
- I have my own car

I started working as a nanny in 2021. In the US, I was an au pair in Virginia, where I cared for two boys (3 months and 2 years old) for one year. I also spent 6 months caring for two boys aged 2 and 3, helping with potty training, meals, and educational activities.

For the past year, I've been caring for a 10-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl. My responsibilities include helping with their daily routines, schoolwork, preparing meals, and driving them to and from school and extracurriculars.

I'll be available for a new position starting now, and I'm excited to support a new family by providing a safe, loving, and engaging environment for your children.

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Ashley, and I’ve basically been a nanny since I became a big sister. I’m the oldest of three, and I’ve been taking care of my two younger brothers for years—one is 8 and the other is just 1 year old. I take care of the baby full-time when my mom’s at work—diapers, bottles, playtime, naps, you name it. My 8-year-old brother definitely keeps me on my toes, but I’ve learned how to handle tough moments with patience and a little humor.

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.
