A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Madison, and I’m a dedicated and compassionate nanny with over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from LSU and am currently enrolled in an accelerated BSN program at ULL, working toward my nursing degree. My background in psychology gives me a deep understanding of child development, emotional regulation, and behavioral support, which I apply in my childcare approach.

I have extensive experience working with children with ASD and other developmental delays, having previously worked at an ABA therapy clinic. I strive to create a supportive, patient, and engaging environment tailored to each child’s unique needs.

Beyond childcare, I’m happy to help with errands, household chores, pet care, and light meal prep. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and structured space where children can thrive. I’d love the opportunity to work with your family! 😊

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Lilly Stephens and I’m a freshman majoring in biology at Ul Lafayette! I worked in a daycare setting for 6 months and absolutely loved it. I’m looking for any part time babysitting or nannying positions. I am more than opening to meeting in person or setting up a video call before any formal babysitting happens. I love helping others; even if I cannot meet your full schedule needs, feel free to reach out for a last minute sitter, or for someone to cover half of a “shift” so to speak!

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Lafayette, LA

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 Lafayette can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Lafayette 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 Louisiana?
  • Do you have a Louisiana 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.
