A little bit about me

Hi I'm JuMari, and I have four years of experience caring for kids, both within my family and through working at a summer camp. I'm currently studying biology at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, with dreams of becoming a pediatrician-so working with kids is a huge part of my life! I love spending time with children, whether we're playing games or just hanging out. Some of my favorite activities include listening to music, coloring, watching TV shows, and playing volleyball. I believe in creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment for kids, and I'm excited to bring my experience and energy to every babysitting opportunity. Since I’m a student I can only babysit after school and be a part time sitter. I can also babysit every other weekend I typically go back home to visit my family some weekends. Let's connect-l'd love to help make your family's life a bit easier!

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Azalea, I am currently a college student at ULL. I currently work at Blood Donation Center as needed. I really do enjoy my time being around kids. Before this job I worked at a Preschool in my hometown Baton Rouge. I worked at the preschool as a teacher assistant as well as a teacher for one of the two summers I was there. I worked with toddlers, helping potty train, play with them, feed them, taught them different things that was apart of their curriculum and monitor them. I have also worked with babies 3 to 6 months, feed, changed, played with them, put them down for nap time. I just miss the environment and energy being around kids brings. I am currently looking for something that works with my school schedule and my as needed position at my current job.

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.
