Recent reference

"Melanie has so many great qualities I’d like to start off with the fact that after many years of being there she climbed up the ladder to become a manger and she deserved it 100%. When she puts her mind to things she gets them done, she’d learn them really fast. She’s a very kind and caring person she would take care of our customers and made them feel welcome always with a smile on her face. To me it never looked like she did it because it was her job but because it genuinely came out of her on free will . She’s a wonderful employee and person overall I’d recommend her anywhere she will be there and she will be on time like I said always with a smile on her face you can always count on her even when she’s not available she’ll always make time to help out if you’re looking for anyone I say go with Melanie! She will get things done she’s responsible overall a wonderful person we were sad to see her go we will miss her greatly as for she has left a lasting impression in all of us."

A little bit about me

About me: I have a BA in Education and English. I am incredibly passionate about supporting children and their development (emotionally, physically, and intellectually). I love being outside and doing things, especially in the summer. I love making summer a fun time that is full of hands-on learning for children.

I look forward to providing a space where your children can feel safe, learn, and have fun!

How to Find a Babysitter in Lincoln, NE

Nanny Lane is a child care website meant to help you find a babysitter in your area. Our child care services include background checks, PLUS, and payroll.

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Lincoln, NE

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 Lincoln can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Lincoln 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 Nebraska?
  • Do you have a Nebraska 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.
