A little bit about me…

I have over 30 years of experience with children all ages, some with special needs and autistic. Had a daycare. I love children because they are honest, innocent and sometimes very funny. I also love most animals except reptiles, spiders and insects.

A little bit about me…

I have shared with children of many ages, from 9 months to 15 years old. I have had the responsibility of ensuring their safety, helping with their homework, preparing their meals, playing with them, and correcting their mistakes when necessary, the best experience is when you teach them something and I see that they can do it on their own.

A little bit about me…

I’ve been working in emergency medicine since I was 17 years old. I am a Paramedic, so no worries when it comes to an emergency. I recently moved back to CT from FL and it’s really a new beginning for me since I haven’t been here since I graduated High School. All I know is that children bring me joy and i have always had this natural gift of INSTANTLY connecting with pediatrics and even adolescents. I am willing to take them to doctor appointments, the beach, hiking.... whatever they may be interested in. Of course all COVID-19 measurements will be number one concern, but with my medical knowledge and background working as a live in nanny and with special needs children, I believe I can help with whatever your families needs might be.

A little bit about me…

Hi Parents,
My Name is Vanessa. I have been working as a full-time nanny for over 15 years. I've been on my current job for almost 5 years, taking care of an almost 5-year-old boy. I am looking for new babysitting jobs now that I am relocating to CT. I love what I do and very much enjoy all aspects of child-care, especially the uniqueness of each age group. I am a hard worker who takes my professional responsibilities seriously and puts safety first. I am calm, caring, warm and reliable. I believe that energy, patience, communication and love are essential ingredients in the caretaker-child relationship. I try to involve the children I work with in dramatic play, age-appropriate language, math skills, reading, art, music, athletics, and any other activities the parents deem fit and appropriate. I have experience with Early Intervention protocols and developmental issues, as I completed three years of a Child Psychology Major. I am fluent in English and Spanish.

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in Westport, CT

Before beginning the search for a nanny, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a nanny is the right choice for your child care needs. In hiring a nanny, first, you should think through what responsibilities you expect your nanny to handle. With that information, you can create a profile so that nannies can reach out to you. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. In general, a nanny is responsible for making sure your children’s needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your nanny before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location can impact how much you should pay your nanny.

Westport Nanny Interviews

Once you start connecting with prospective nannies, the next step is a nanny interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some nanny interview questions to consider asking:

  • Do you have experience being a nanny?
  • How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?
  • What sort of household tasks are you open to doing?
  • Are you open to a live in arrangement in Westport? Do you have experience being a live in nanny?
  • Are you open to being a nanny in a nanny share?
  • Do you have any references?
  • Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in Westport?
  • Do you have a driver’s license in CT? Do you own a car?
  • What salary are you seeking? Are you open to being paid through direct-deposit, pay stubs?
  • What are your expectations around over-time pay and vacation time?

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 prospective nanny, it’s essential to make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your nanny. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around nanny responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming! And of course, as you learn how to hire a nanny, Nanny Lane's nanny services are here to help you along the way.

Daycare vs. Hiring a Nanny

Choosing between putting your child in daycare and hiring a nanny can be a tough decision. While nannies are often more expensive, they provide individualized attention and flexibility. Daycares, on the other hand, prioritize socialization. Our Nanny vs Daycare guide can help you determine what's best for your family.
