A little bit about me
I love working with kids and have years of experience as a camp counselor, as well as babysitting experience both in high school and college. I enjoy doing crafts, playing outside, and encouraging each kid's specific interests.
I love building fun and trusting relationships with the kids I work with, and some of the best memories I have from college are of taking care of a faculty member's baby boy when she returned to work!
I have my own transportation and have never gotten a ticket. I was a straight-A student in high school and have gotten on the Dean's List every year of college; I am a reliable and trustworthy and I will show up to work with a good attitude!

How to Hire a Short-Term Nanny in Cambridge, MD
Nanny Lane helps you find a short-term nanny in Cambridge, MD for a temporary need, from a few weeks to a few months.
We offer nanny services including background checks, Agency, and nanny payroll. Start by posting a profile with a job description, and soon you can start connecting with nannies who fit your family.
What Is a Short-Term Nanny?
A short-term nanny works for a set period rather than as an ongoing hire. Families look for short-term help when a parent is on leave, when they are between nannies, for a new baby, or while they are relocating or traveling. The end date is agreed at the start.
Common Responsibilities of Short-Term Nannies in Cambridge, MD
A short-term nanny takes on the same duties as any nanny, including caring for children, preparing meals, and keeping to routines, and often starts quickly. Because the role is temporary, they need a clear handover covering schedules, allergies, and house rules on day one.
What to Consider Before You Hire
Be upfront about the start date, the end date, and the chance of an extension. Fixed-term roles still benefit from clear pay terms, and a written agreement helps both sides. Short-term nannies who can start quickly are in demand, so message early.
Short-Term Nanny Interview Questions
Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:
- Are you available for our dates, and could you extend if we need it?
- How quickly could you start?
- Have you worked short-term or fill-in roles before?
- How would you get to know our routines quickly?
- Are you trained in First Aid or CPR?
At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
