A little bit about me

My name is Miffy and I’ve been a preschool teacher for three years now. I’m originally from San Diego, CA and just recently made the move to New Orleans! I hold an Associates degree in Early Childhood Education and have a background in play-based education. I have experience working with children three months to six years and specialize in infant-toddler care. I’m currently working towards my Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and believe making the transition from center-based care to nannying would help support my goal of becoming a well-rounded teacher in the future. I can’t wait to get to know your little ones!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Carley Young. I was born in the one-of-a-kind city of New Orleans but grew up in the Westbank area. For most of my life I have been heavily involved with caring for children. My older sister had her first child when I was 11 years old, and since then has brought three more beautiful lives into this world. I have always loved being around children; caring for them, teaching them, laughing with them, watching them change and grow. Helping raise my nieces and nephews has been one of my greatest accomplishments.
Aside from kids, I also love to write, read, watch movies, dabble in photography and cook (not always well). I am looking forward to one day going back to school to get a degree that will allow me to be a social worker.
If I sound like I'd be a good fit for your family, I would love to offer my help and be there to make life even a little easier for you. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

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.
