A little bit about me…

Hi there my name is Mariah. I am seeking to find a family to care for in the Hampton Rd area. I am committed to being a responsible trustworthy individual for you and your family, and I can alter my schedule to meet your needs. I can take care of date night supervising, after school care, meal prep, feeding, diaper changing, bathing, and light house work. I am also comfortable working with sick children. I have years of experience working with children of all different ages from newborn up until 10 years old. I also have a little experience working with children with disabilities as my little sister has Tourette's and is on the autism spectrum and I babysat for a little boy that was non-verbal. I do have experience in teaching kids age 5-11 how to swim as I was a swim instructor for the YMCA for about a year and a half . I hope I am the right fit for your family and would be glad to meet and answer any questions you may have. If you liked to contact me shoot me a message.

A little bit about me…

I’ve worked in Children’s ministry for years, & have adopted two children who are growing up way too fast! When they were younger I opened an in-home, educational daycare in their honor. This allowed me to teach them all things preschool & kindergarten, along with other children!

I have worked in the Chesapeake Public school system, taught English in the juvenile detention center, taught English (ESL) online to children in China, served on missionary teams to orphanages in Russia, missionary to Kazakhstan, photographer for missions to Israel, led mentoring outreach for at-risk youth in inner-cities, served families w/special-needs children, in-home counseling, home-health aid, & served as Children’s Ministry Director for 7+ years.

I enjoy photography, creative writing, & am working on developing a children’s song I wrote into a book. My daughter said I make friends wherever we go. And I confess I do love to meet people, and plant seeds of positivity to help brighten their day!

A little bit about me…

I'm caring and energetic with a deep passion for children! Pre COVID-19 I worked as a full-time assistant teacher at a small local Christian school. I cared for children ages 11 months-2 years then worked with a 5 year old class. I lost my job due to the pandemic.

I then nannied for a year and a half, for two different families. I cared for two girls, ages 3 and 4, and then a 13 month old. The first position ended due to military family relocation, and the second ended due to me relocating to the Outer Banks.

I moved to live with family in order to save money, and to figure out my next steps in life while saving for school and considering which program to enroll in. I worked in the service industry during my time there.

I have just recently relocated back to the Hampton Roads area and am looking to nanny again! I quickly realized I truly miss connecting will little ones, and I would love the chance to help your family.

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Chesapeake, VA

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 Chesapeake can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Chesapeake 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 Virginia?
  • Do you have a Virginia 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.
