A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Karen. I’ve been working with kids since I was 21 and love it. I started by watching my younger sisters kids and then began babysitting for kids in my neighborhood. Over the last few years I primarily worked with infants and toddlers but I love kids all ages. If it’s sunny out, I like to take the kids out for a walk to the park. If not, I love to do arts and crafts inside and read books. In my free time I enjoy hiking, reading and cooking.

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Amanda. I am a very patient, loving and attentive 31 year old. I have been a lead preschool teacher for over 8 years with many summers spent working with school age children in our program’s summer camp. I do not have children of my own and I drive a safe and reliable SUV. Although I have loved my time teaching, I look forward to returning to nannying. I am nurturing and enjoy being adventurous with exploring new and fun topics with children. I enjoy cooking, gardening, nature, animals, music, and art projects. I feel that my ability to set reasonable expectations for individual children and to consistently encourage the child to achieve them is a huge part of how I help children to grow with happiness, confidence and the ability to better manage their emotions and reactions.
My per child rate is not $20/hr, this is just my overall hourly rate. Willing to consider a part time position under the right circumstances.
I look forward to hearing from you!

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

Westminster 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.
