A little bit about me…

I have 5 years of experience. I can help with Light Housekeeping and Cooking/Meal Preparation. I don't drive so I'd be walking or biking everywhere unless a friend is able to provide a ride. I've been babysitting for friends and family for the past five years along with working at a daycare. Babysitting will help me hone my skills when I become a teacher. On top of that, I'm AED and CPR certified. Past clients have described me as fun, outgoing, and excellent with kids. Lastly, I've helped children who were completely nonverbal learn to find their voice and self.

My name is Abi and I've been taking care of kids for five years. For the last three years I've been working as a live in au pair and loved every second of it! Now, I am looking for a job as a live out nanny.
I'm comfortable with four kids at a time and have taken care of children ranging from 3 months to 10 years old and I'm more than happy to provide references.

English is my first language and I am willing to provide support and help for remote learning. Additionally, I can help with laundry, meal preparation and lots of crafts and outdoor fun! My style of working includes more than just watching your kids and keeping them safe, I want to get down on their level and help them grow through play. I don't have any educational background in childcare but I do have three years of hands on experience.

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Arlington, VA

Before beginning the search for a babysitter, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a babysitter is the right choice for your child care needs. There are lots of benefits to hiring a babysitter such as getting the flexibility of having some more time for yourself or with your partner. When hiring a babysitter, first, you should explore the differences between a nanny and a babysitter. If you’re looking for occasional child care, babysitters are the right choice for you, but if you’re looking for more frequent care, a nanny may be better for your needs.

From there, you can think about what you expect your babysitter to handle so that you can create a profile for nannies to reach out to you. The boundaries for babysitters’ duties can vary from family to family. However, in general, a babysitter is responsible for making sure your kids’ needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example to housekeeping, laundry, or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your babysitter before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location in Arlington can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Arlington Babysitter Interviews

Once you start connecting with prospective babysitters, the next step is to conduct an interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some babysitter interview questions to consider asking:

  • Do you have experience being a babysitter?
  • What sort of household tasks are you open and comfortable doing?
  • Do you have any references?
  • Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in Virginia?
  • Do you have a Virginia driver’s license? Do you own a car?
  • How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?

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 babysitter that you’re considering hiring, make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your babysitter. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around babysitter responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming!

And of course, as you learn how to hire a babysitter, Nanny Lane's nanny services are here to help you along the way.
