A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Iasmyn and I’m currently looking for families in need of a reliable and caring babysitter.

I have extensive experience caring for children, including helping raise my younger sister until she was eight years old, so I’m very familiar with kids’ needs and routines. I’m skilled at engaging children in fun and educational activities, and I’m also able to help with cooking and light housekeeping. I am warm-hearted, energetic and enjoy spending my time reading, crafting and playing games. I am also happy to prepare meals. I also hold a valid driver’s license, which allows me to assist with school drop-offs, pick-ups, or errands as needed. Additionally, I’m bilingual—I speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese—and would be happy to help your children practice or learn a new language if you’re interested.

I’d love to connect and discuss how I can support your family’s needs. Please feel free to call me so we can arrange a time to meet and chat further.

A little bit about me

I am 1 of 8 siblings. I have been taking care of children and assisted my mother when she did childcare at home. I also took care of my mother when she got ill and was wheel chair bound. I believe in having a great spirit, love and patience to care for others. I look forward in assisting in any help that I can provide to the best of my ability.

Thank you,

A little bit about me

Let me tell you a little about myself. My name is Livia, and I'm from Brazil! I'm a patient, creative, responsible, punctual, clean, and organized person! I love children, and I've always had children around. In Brazil, I was studying nursing at a federal university that is very difficult to get into! After a few semesters of college, I was a little confused about whether this was the course I really wanted, so I decided to come to the United States to spend some time and study English. I went to New Jersey, where I worked as a nanny for two girls and also worked for a cleaning company. Then I came to Maryland. . Here in Maryland, I worked as a nanny for a 2-year-old girl and a 14-month-old boy occasionally. I still take care of the 14-month-old baby occasionally! In Brazil, while I was in college, I also took care of children! I'm fully vaccinated and I don't smoke.

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in Columbia, MD

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.

Columbia 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 Columbia? 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 Columbia?
  • Do you have a driver’s license in MD? 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.
