A little bit about me

My name is Madi, I’m 20 years old and currently in my second year of college. I’ve only ever worked in childcare and have about 4 years of experience. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and truly love working with kids!

I’m open to nannying at your house or mine—whatever works best for your family. My mom used to run a home daycare, so I grew up around childcare. My house also has a pool, which can be great summer fun for older kids (with safety always coming first, of course!). 😊

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Jenna. I’m 31 and have 2 kids of my own whom I love dearly! I’ve primarily been teaching pre-k for the last 14 years as it’s my passion & am now looking for something just a little more lowkey. I am a certified ECC Teacher as well as in CPR/FA for all ages. I feel strongly about the importance of treating children with the compassion & grace we desire to be treated with ourselves & firmly believe in the idea that we need to be the change we want to see in the world! In addition, I have remained the “emotional support” teacher over the years… I’m wonderful with calming big emotions!

A little bit about me

Hello! I am a recent college graduate with approximately 5 years of childcare experience in daycare and educational settings. Through working jobs where I was responsible for 10+ children ages 3-14 and providing informative activities for them, I am confident in my ability to connect and entertain your little one(s)! I am no stranger to playing pretend, creating crafts, rolling around in the grass, and truly participating with children in their activities. A balance of silliness and respect is important to me and is something that I bring with me to every childcare task. I am able to perform light housekeeping, errand running, and cooking. Through my personality, experience, and skills I am positive that I can provide a lively, empathetic, and safe space for your kiddos to grow.

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in Townsend, 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.

Townsend 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 Townsend? 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 Townsend?
  • 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.
