A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Mariana! While I may be on the younger side, my experience in childcare is extensive and might surprise you. I’ve been caring for kids in various capacities for years, from babysitting my siblings to leading activities as a camp counselor. I'm an active, energetic person who’s always on my toes, ready to keep up with the energy of kids. I truly enjoy being engaged and making sure children have a fun, safe, and enriching time with me.

A little bit about me

Hello! I'm currently a mother of 6 year old twins and I've worked with children for 15+ years. I've attended courses at MC for child development, worked at a daycare center and was a nanny for 4 years. I'm currently getting recertified for my CPR certificate, but I do have prior experience. Ideally, I would love to work with a family that understands that I have twins of my own and I am more than willing to watch your child in my home while you work, or my twins and I can come to your home to teach, play, and take care of your child. I am comfortable with both options. If you chose to allow your child/ren to come to my home, depending on the circumstances, I can come pick up your child/ren and drop them off if needed. Have a great day!

A little bit about me

Hi there!
My name is Charlotte Andreasen-Goesel; I am an elementary school teacher who just recently moved to the area. I would love to care for your children as I volunteer at a local school and continue my job search.

I love spending time with kids! As a teacher I am caring, understanding, empowering, fair and consistent. My greatest strength is creating an environment of empathy and relationship building. I would love to bring these elements in engaging with your child!

I would love to help with homework, engage in fun activities and I especially enjoy spending time outside (I believe this is important for children too!).

I am responsible, attentive and reliable - please let me know if you would be interested in my services! Thank you and take care!

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

Takoma Park 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.
