A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Jada Odom, and I’m an experienced nanny with 8 years of dedicated childcare experience. I have a genuine passion for working with children and take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where they can thrive.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids. My experience includes infant care, managing multiple children. I also worked with special needs children and I’m CPR certified for both adults & infants.

I believe in fostering a positive and fun learning environment, whether it’s through educational play, outdoor activities, or creative arts and crafts. I’m also happy to assist with homework, meal preparation, and light household duties to help keep your home running smoothly.

A little bit about me

My name is Noelani and I would like to gain more experience working with children! I Love kids and animals as well, so being around pets isn't an issue! I would love to have kids and pets of my own in the future as well. I have a big family, so I've been around children of different ages.

Professionally, I have only worked with children 6 and under, but would love to work with older kiddos as well! I am CPR/BLS certified and a registered behavior technician too, so I do have some experience working with children with special needs.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me, and hopefully I can be given the opportunity to learn about you and your kiddo(s) too!

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.
