A little bit about me

My name is Danica. I grew up in Seattle, Washington. I graduated from the University of California, Irvine in June of 2013 double majoring in Film & Media Studies and Journalism and minoring in Education (Child development courses). During college I nannied for twins from birth to about 4 years old and the past 5 years I've been babysitting for a family with two sons since they were both newborns. I have a sister who is 14 and have babysat her since she was born. I helped my parents raise her. I have many years of experience in child care- I volunteered for 2 years at my church's nursery caring for infants and taught Sunday school for 2 years. I volunteered at many camps every summer since I was in middle school for kids 3 - 14 years old. I worked at a Sports Club as a Children’s Programs Assistant for 3 summers and I worked in a Kids Club at a Sports Clubs in Southern California and New York for 5 years. During my junior and senior years in college I volunteered at Turtle Rock Elementary School as a first grade teacher aid and also as an after school tutor for ThinkTogether. I love children and would treat yours as if they were my own!

I love kids, they’ve been a big part of my life and I plan to be around them and working with them until I have kids of my own (and even then I hope to be a children’s author). I wouldn’t call myself artistic, but being a babysitter/nanny is a way that I am 100% creative. I am a goofy and silly adult and for kids to appreciate who I am is the best feeling ever. I love teaching and learning from kids!

I have 10+ years experience with kids, but I am not one of those people who thinks they know everything about kids. It's true that you don't really know until you have some of your own, which I don't and I get it. I will never think that I know what is best for your child. I know the importance of wanting to feel secure with leaving your child with someone, because my mom had that with me as my sister's babysitter.

What Is a Nanny for Twins?

A nanny for twins has experience caring for twins, triplets, or other multiples. Looking after two or more children of the same age is different from caring for siblings of different ages, because feedings, naps, and routines all happen at once. Nannies with this experience know how to organize the day around more than one baby or toddler.

Common Responsibilities of Nannies for Twins in Mechanicsburg, PA

Duties include the usual childcare tasks, done for more than one child at once: feeding, diaper changes, naps, play, and outings. A nanny experienced with multiples often builds shared routines for feeding and sleep, manages a double stroller and more than one car seat, and still gives each child individual attention.

What to Consider Before You Hire

Think about how many hands you need. Some families with newborn twins want extra coverage at busy times of day. Ask about the ages of the multiples the nanny has cared for, and whether they have worked alone with them. Pay may be higher for more than one child, so discuss rates at the start.

Nanny for Twins Interview Questions

Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:

  • Have you cared for twins or other multiples, and at what ages?
  • How do you manage feeding and nap schedules for more than one baby?
  • How do you give each child individual attention?
  • Are you comfortable going on outings alone with more than one child?
  • Are you trained in First Aid or CPR?

At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
