A little bit about me

I am 19 years old and I have been taking care of children since I was about 5 years old, starting out as helping my mom out and over the years slowly taking on the role of watching them while she did other tasks. I always maintain a watchful eye and keep them engaged in age appropriate activities like crafts or games.

A little bit about me

I am a motivated and responsible individual who takes pride in balancing multiple priorities. I am currently in school while also building my own business, which has taught me strong time management, discipline, and communication skills. Despite my busy schedule, I always make time for what matters to me—especially working with children. I have experience caring for a 1–1.5-year-old, a 5-year-old, and a 7-year-old at the same time, where I successfully managed different routines, needs, and personalities. I am patient, reliable, and energetic, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for kids. Working with children is something I’m passionate about, and I’m committed to showing up fully and giving them the attention and care they deserve.

A little bit about me

Hello. My name is Carey and I am a mom of two children, both in middle school. While putting myself through college, years ago, I worked in a couple of child care centers in the Baltimore region. I worked with infants and toddlers. I am a UMBC graduate with a degree in Psychology and a certificate in Early Childhood. I've been an educator in Baltimore, PG and Charles County schools teaching pre-kindergarten and Kindergarten. The world has drastically changed and so has the classroom. I am currently an assistant in the county, but I am looking for a change. I love children tremendously, but I am not ready to turn my back on my love of working with children.

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in La Plata, 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.

La Plata 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 La Plata? 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 La Plata?
  • 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.
