A little bit about me…

Hello, My name is Adela. I am bilingual in Spanish and English. I have been babysitting for eight years. I love kids and enjoy seeing them develop in front of my eyes. I'm a very active person and love being outside. I enjoy arts and crafts. I am a psychology major and in regards to schooling I focus on childhood development. I believe that a strong mind starts young therefore I love reading to every child I work with. While babysitting and being a camp leader I have performed activities such as cooking for kids, cleaning and tidying up around houses. I treat each child with care and love as I see them as little people that will be responsible for a bright future. I have worked with amazing families. Giving me experience with newborns, twins, toddlers, and special needs as well. I truly enjoy being part of the everyday of a child.

A little bit about me…

Hi, I’m Kayla. I am currently attending college in hopes of graduating and going to medical school. I had been with children for about 2 and a half years (precovid) and was a caregiver for a majority of COVID till now. I’m the eldest of four kids and helped my mom raise all of my siblings so I’d say I have a lot of experience with all types of kids. I also used to tutor kids ages 5-18.

Hi my name is Lisette, I’m 19 years old. While I am currently working at a day care as a preschool teacher I would love to switch to a full time nanny with less kids. I currently take care of 10 from 9am to 6pm so I’m looking for a part-time but willing to go full time with the right family.

A little bit about me…

I'd describe my personality as adventurous, energetic, and compassionate!

I like working with kids because I love helping them grow in any way possible!

I started working with kids when I was a preteen started off volunteering. When I got to high school I took classes to learn more like child development, taught a preschool class and student teaching at a middle school.

In my spare time, like to try new things! I especially love to try new food from around the world! I'm an outside person so anything to do with outdoors is my favorite.

One thing you should know about me is I love to learn. If something is difficult for me, I will try my hardest to accomplish it!

My skills include listening to the kids sometimes it's hard for kids to express their emotions. Being creative is also a big thing for me! I love doing art/activities with kids because that is another way for them to learn new things! Lastly is just caring for them the best way possible so they can feel safe always.

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in Des Plaines, IL

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.

Des Plaines 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 Des Plaines? 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 Des Plaines?
  • Do you have a driver’s license in IL? 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.
