A little bit about me

Hi my names Kayla some information about me is I am a young African American CNA from Boston MA who just moved to New Orleans. I have always been into working in the medical field and enjoy taking care of people in need. My goal as I take on new opportunities is to learn new skills and gain more experience to help change many issues in the medical department as of today. I learned I enjoyed working with children In a summer youth program in Boston. There I was able to work with disabled kids and help tutor/ teach them how to become successful in their everyday task in their daily lives. This sparked a passion in me to want to continue helping people and seeing them grow from challenges they face everyday. This led to my experience working with geriatrics over the last few months. If you are looking for a hardworking CNA/DSP or Child Tutor/ Babysitter who cares about her work and treats her clients with respect and care look no further because I can provide both and more to the team.

Recent reference

"Evelyn has been the absolute best part of my transition back to work after having our baby. She quickly became a beloved part of our family, and the only reason we cannot keep her is because we are moving across the country. Evelyn is a rare gem: kind, intuitive, and deeply caring. She has a gift for anticipating our needs before we express them, and she consistently goes above and beyond in every aspect. Whether it is feeding, sleep routines, bath time, or play, Evelyn approaches everything with patience, attentiveness, and love. She gives our baby the kind of one-on-one attention every parent hopes for. He lights up around her, and it is clear how deeply she cares for him. Evelyn has not only taken exceptional care of our baby, but she has also supported our whole family with warmth and grace. She has been our guardian angel during this season, and we are heartbroken to say goodbye. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her. I am happy to provide a personal reference."

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Metairie, 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 Metairie can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Metairie 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.
