A little bit about me

Hello! I'm taking a leap of faith and moving to New Orleans from California. I have years of experience working in summer camps (groups of 20+ first graders!) and spent a semester as a classroom assistant in a transitional kindergarten class. I am all energy, and am all about art and music! I studied Sociology and Education in my undergrad, and I am ready to put all of this into practice.
I know it is risky to trust your children with someone with no previous experience in this role (my experience lies elsewhere), but I am adaptable, a self starter, ready for anything, and a child at heart!

A little bit about me

I am a hard-working, very ambitious, always on time if i’m going  to be late i will always communicate and i love to show my authentic self to others especially working with children. i have nieces and nephews and i have always watched them(kind of the baby sister of the family).  I got to Xavier University Of Louisiana for school. I am a psych major. I inspire to be a child adolescent therapist for children. As I study psychology it shows me the importance of engaging with children through social emotional learning.  Learning with them and seeing them grow in many different ways is a beautiful experience.

A little bit about me

My name is Dajuan Kinzey
I have five children. My eldest is 18 yrs old. I'm an active mother in my children's life. I'm seeking work currently. I'm more than 18 yrs experienced babysitting. To me to care for a child isn't a job. It is more about communicating and committing. Children want attention and support. I would enjoy being able to provide that for a parent; Who's schedule is hectic or busy. I understand as a parent , it's important that your child is in safe hands. I'm a woman of faith, and I believe children need love. Although being a nanny is tough sometimes. I belive routine is important. It keeps a flow of things. Making life much more efficient and easier.

A little bit about me

My name is Ellie, I am originally from NYC but came to NOLA for my undergrad! I finished my undergrad at Loyola and I am currently in grad school to get my early education degree. I have 10 years experience, with the ages ranging from 3 weeks - 10 years old. I typically work with families who have multiple children, the largest job I have had included 7 brothers (1-10) at once! I would love to help some parents out by being their for their child/children when they can’t be. I have worked in a daycare setting along with babysitting/nannying but I prefer nannying/babysitting because it allows me to build a closer relationship with the children, on a more personal level. I hope to find families who are open to building a deep caring relationship. I have always had a soft spot for children, I consider it to be my calling :). I am flexible with time and with pay, as I genuinely enjoy helping the families

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

New Orleans 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.
