A little bit about me…

Hi! My name is Constance and I am currently working at Primrose Schools of Edinburgh Commons. I’ve been there since the ending of July and absolutely love what I do. I am in between infant and toddler classrooms and I am CPR/First Aid qualified. Ive worked with kids 6 weeks old to 2.5 years old. I’m currently looking for a job that allows me to still do what I love, but also work from my home/child’s home. I am very organized and I’m a great communicator. I am a veteran of the United States Army and detail cars on the side. I guess you could call me a woman of many talents. I am 24 years of age and hoping to one day own my own affordable in home child care business. I am so excited and look forward to meeting you all and your little one and becoming a nanny. I’m so ecstatic about a one on one relationship with your child because I’m used to a setting of 5. Thank you for the opportunity!

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

Portsmouth 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.
