A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Harmony. I’m 22 years old, and I’ve been working with children since high school. I’ve always had a genuine love for kids, and I’ve gained experience through coaching gymnastics, working as a lead infant teacher, and caring for the children of friends and family.

I’m very family-oriented and currently have four nieces who I love spending time with. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, staying active, and trying new things that challenge me to step outside my comfort zone.

Working with children is something I’m truly passionate about. I take pride in creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment where kids can learn, grow, and feel comfortable!

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Trinity, currently an aide in a preschool toddler program. I’ve been working as an aide for 2 years and babysitting for over 4 years. I’m excited to transition from childcare centers to nannying, where I can build deeper connections with families and tailor my approach to their specific needs. I am CPR and First Aid certified, so you can feel confident knowing your children are in good hands. I enjoy engaging with kids through music, creative activities, outdoor play, and educational games. Whether it’s preparing healthy meals, helping with homework, or planning fun projects, I’m flexible and happy to assist in any way your family needs.
As a childcare aide, I value incorporating learning into play and encouraging children to explore their curiosity about the world through Montessori techniques, exciting games, and creative crafts. I’m always prepared with activities to keep the kids engaged and active, especially outdoors, where I love to spend time.

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.
