A little bit about me

Medical assistant at an allergy clinic for 7 years; have my certifications for MA and Phlebotomy. Began working from home with a call center as a tech support agent in 2021 while taking part time classes for IT in business online. This year I didn’t return to school; 2022-23 worked at GECU Federal credit Union (contact center representative) but I have moved from El Paso, TX to Capitol Heights, MD (July) with my younger sister whom was stationed here and is in the Air Force. I have a 12 yr old boy and taken care of plenty of nieces and nephews. (2 nieces and 2 younger sisters/6 nephews) - I have a total of 6 sisters :) I am a bit reserved and my personality seems rather serious, however kiddos get the energetic side of me and I wish the best for all kids. My current hobby is reading as many great books as possible.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Allisson, I am 17 years old and am currently on my second semester of nursing school as an Early College student, in hopes of becoming a Pediatric or NICU nurse. For two years in high school, I was in the child development program, where I was able to build on my teaching skills with preschoolers as a student teacher. For a few months, I also volunteered at a churches daycare with 1-3 year olds, as well as a preschool as a teacher assistant. Finally, as part of my nursing program requirements, I have my American Heart BLS CPR certificate. Working with children is one of my many joys in life and I can only hope that my care also brings them joy!

A little bit about me

Senior at UMBC. Growing up in a large family in Montgomery County taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of building strong connections, which I bring into every caregiving role.

I create an active, playful, and engaging environment for kids while also making sure homework and assignments get the attention they need. I’ve worked as a preschool teacher, so I know how to keep children safe, entertained, and learning. I’m also comfortable tutoring students in multiple subjects and helping with structured activities.

My background in sports, growing up playing football, has instilled discipline, teamwork, and energy, which I channel into creating fun experiences while emphasizing safety.

I’m reliable, patient, and approachable, and I enjoy connecting with people of all ages. I take pride in being attentive to both children and pets, making sure they feel valued and cared for.

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.
