A little bit about me…

Hi my name is Destiny I am 23yrs old I have been working with children for about 6 years now. I love children and currently have one of my own on the way! this will be my first and I am so excited... I've worked with many different ages of children but mostly infants and toddlers. I am looking forward to working with children again and creating a bond with he or she. its more then just caring for them also teaching them to learn things as they are in my care! when I was in high school my mom was working 2 jobs so I often had to watch and take care of my 2 younger siblings by myself. that has taught me and made me the person I am today and gave me the desire to love children dearly. I always had an amazing teachable loving mother growing up!

A little bit about me…

I am interested in being a nanny, because growing up by myself and being the oldest in the family, I’ve always loved helping out with the kids. I don’t have any kids of my own, but I have nieces and nephews who love spending time with me. Whether it’s going to the museum, the library, swimming and looking for fun activities to do, they love it and I love being a part of it. I have 5 years or more of experience working with kids of different ages, from newborns to 12 year olds and older. I have my own reliable vehicle and a clean driving record. I’m outgoing, energetic and full of love. Hope to hear from you soon.

A little bit about me…

Hi! My name is Ana Luisa Martinez, I am from Caracas Venezuela, I am 18 years old. I am bilingual and my first language is Spanish, but my second language is English. When I see myself as a nanny I wonder what would I teach the kids and that is when everything comes into my mind. As a kid, I used to do many sports, including swimming, gymnastics, dance, ballet, yoga, karate, volleyball, and tennis. As I came to the age of 9 I stopped practicing many of those sports and joined the horseback riding team at the day club back home. As for my experience with kids, I love helping them learn how to read, write, and play games. I have always been passionate about spending time with kids and helping them learn and achieve every goal they want. I have worked as a nanny many times for family friends since I was 15 and since I loved spending time with kids I also volunteered in several foundations to help kids learn how to interact with others, how to play games, and how to read and write.

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in Lake Forest, IL

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.

Lake Forest 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 Lake Forest? 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 Lake Forest?
  • Do you have a driver’s license in IL? 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.
