A little bit about me

I’m a mother of two adult children. I have over 30 years experience with childcare and early childhood education.
I also have provided childcare to many kids other then my own, when my kids were school aged. I believe in that children need to learn through exploring the world and nature. I enjoy cooking and baking. I’m an avid hiker and kayaker.

A little bit about me

I have had the opportunity to take care of several children of different ages. I have worked as a babysitter and also as an English teacher for children, which has allowed me to develop skills in childcare, conflict resolution, and organizing educational and fun activities. These experiences have strengthened my passion for working with children and motivated me to seek opportunities.

I am very excited about the possibility of being part of your family and contributing significantly to the care and development of your children. I look forward to meeting you in person and discussing how I can be the best Au pair for your family.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Chelsea. I've babysat for about 20 years now which sounds crazy to me but I started at 13 with my own nephew as a newborn. I have cared for ages from newborns up into pre-teens and from up to 3 in a household to a larger group in a daycare setting. Children tend to be drawn to me because of my youthful and inviting energy I give off, which I consider one of my superpowers. I love doing artwork and creating things. I genuinely care about others and how they feel. I'm reliable and responsible. I'm as honest as they come, and am motivated to care for your child/children, the best way you believe they should be cared for.

A little bit about me

Hello! I am a young, creative and empathetic woman who has a soft spot for all children. I just graduated from University of DE with a BA in Anthropology. I also think all children deserve love and affection as if there were no one else on earth! Children are very important to not only myself but to society's future. Teaching children to be confident, but smart is very important to me, while also teaching them independence and play.

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in Lewes, 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.

Lewes 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 Lewes? 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 Lewes?
  • 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.
