A little bit about me

Hi! My name's Mimi and I am in my second year at Tulane, studying cell and molecular biology. I'm initially from DC, where I do quite a lot of babysitting/nannying. I'm hoping to meet some families and begin sitting here. I have multiple Red Cross certifications, such as First Aid, CPR, Concussion, etc. I grew up being very shy (although it wouldn't seem expected now) and never felt like I clicked with any babysitter I had. Due to this, I try to make my time sitting as magical as possible. In the past, I've done bake-offs, fairy house making, karaoke, pool visits, and more. I don't have a car in New Orleans, but I am able to drive and often will be asked to pick up or drop off kids at activities. I've done overnights as well, with ages ranging from 10 months to 11 years.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Joy Dangerfield. I am 18 years old. I have worked with children for most of my life through babysitting, and most of my hands on childcare experience comes from my time at Woodmere Elementary. There, I worked in the front office, assisted teachers in classrooms, and was able to support students with special education needs and IEP plans. Those experiences helped me develop patience, responsibility, strong communication skills, and the ability to adapt to each child's unique needs. I also built great relationships with the students, staff, and parents and was known for being dependable, caring, and positive. I genuinely love working with children and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where they can learn, grow, and feel comfortable. I would love the opportunity to provide that same level of care and attention to your family.

A little bit about me

I’ve been working with kids since I was about 10 years old through my church, caring for children of all ages up until I was 16. That experience taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and being attentive to different personalities and needs. I helped with everything from keeping younger kids entertained and safe to assisting older kids with activities and routines.
Being around kids so much helped me develop strong communication skills and a calm, positive approach, even in stressful situations. It also taught me how to be dependable and trustworthy, since parents and leaders relied on me to help create a safe and supportive environment. Overall, it’s something that really shaped my ability to care for others, which also connects to why I’m pursuing nursing now.

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.
