A little bit about me

Childcare and education have been my main dedication for the past 20 years, leading me around the world and through Chicago, Indiana, and California. It It is a joy to be surrounded by a sense of wonder and innocence, and a privilege to take part in the shaping of young lives.

As a nanny, teacher, or director, the goal I have always kept in mind is children’s empowerment. This entails getting to know them well, calling them to their truest selves and their highest potential. It is important to me to have conversations with children about their discoveries to give them the opportunity to gain better understanding and make connections on their own. Conversations with parents and other caregivers are equally as important, and allow for individualization of care and continuity of connection while parents are away.

My commitment to life-long learning drives me to continue attending workshops and seminars, researching trends, visiting centers, and reading parenting and childcare books. I enjoy fostering their life-long love of learning as well. You might find me nurturing creativity by: teaching art technique; storytelling and reading and all of the things that come along with emphasizing literature; and building and tearing down and rebuilding. I place a high value on holistic nutrition and health and model whatever aspect of this lifestyle I can to the families in my care. When at work, I am often found outside, exploring the world with children. And there is so much more I want to discover!

The two most important qualities that I require and promise to offer on the job are respect and communication, to be a part of a team who grow and learn from each other. I believe I have a lot to contribute out of my heart and passion for childcare as well as my varied experiences and education.

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in South Bend, IN

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.

South Bend 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 South Bend? 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 South Bend?
  • Do you have a driver’s license in IN? 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
