A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Daniyah, and I’m a junior neuroscience pre-med student at Xavier University of Louisiana. I’ve always enjoyed working with children and have experience through babysitting, family care, tutoring, mentoring, camp, and daycare. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, and I love creating a fun and comfortable environment where children can be themselves.
I’m also someone who enjoys helping children learn, whether that’s assisting with homework, reading, doing creative activities, or simply being someone they can feel comfortable around. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust with their children, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m looking forward to getting to know your family and creating a positive experience for your little ones!

I have been nannying, babysitting, and working in childcare for over 6 years. I now have an 11 month old of my own and I’m looking to make some extra money taking care of a baby around his age with him and so he can have a play date!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Asia, I'm 19 years old, and I'm a caring, responsible, and dependable babysitter. While I don't have professional paid babysitting experience yet, I have experience caring for children through family and friends and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. I'm currently an online student, which gives me some flexibility with my schedule. I also work in retail part time primarily on Tuesday and Wednesday nights and weekends. Because of my schedule, I'm mainly available during weekday daytime hours, with some additional availability depending on the week. I'm patient, attentive, and happy to help with activities, games, crafts, homework, simple meals, and keeping children safe and entertained. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable leaving their children with someone they trust, and I'll always do my best to provide reliable and thoughtful care. I'm happy to answer any questions and provide more information about myself!

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.
