A little bit about me

I am Gladys D. Kabay, married with a family. I currently reside in City of Dover, a Green Card permanent resident from Liberia, West Africa.
I arrived in the USA on [phone number hidden] along with my husband and two children [15 year old son and 18 year old daughter].
I started working with Quality Angels with assignment [live-in] at Mariners Way, Bear, Delaware, USA in February of this year [2025].
My job at Mariners Way, Bear includes caretaking a 2 year old child and meal preparation, etc. Now why would I want to find another job? I would like to work closer to my family in 45 GREENWAY SQUARE, Dover, Delaware.
Prior to coming to the USA, I was on active duty as a teacher and supervisor of the nursery division of the Harriette E Bailey Memorial United Methodist High School, Duahzon, RIA Highway, Liberia, which post I served in from September 2018 to September 2024.

Hello, my name is Alexus. I do not have any direct nannying experience, but I have helped care for my four younger siblings for as long as I can remember.

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in Dover, DE

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.

Dover 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 Dover? 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 Dover?
  • Do you have a driver’s license in DE? 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.
