A little bit about me

My name is Kristin, I live in the Uptown New Orleans area, and I have been taking care of children for almost 20 years. I started off as a babysitter in high school, slowly building a clientel with the families in my neighborhood. I continued sitting into college, and eventually took a job as a preschool teacher, where I had the priviledge to nurture and teach a class of up to 20 toddlers for almost six years. In 2008, I left teaching to persue my first Nanny gig for a fantastic family’s two-month-old quadruplets. Yes, four babies. Being outnumbered 4-1 was challenging, but I am so grateful that this was my first experience as a Nanny; it helped me to fine tune my multitasking skills, as well as my patience. In the years that followed, I was honored to add several more families to my resume, with children that ranged in age from newborn to pre-teens. I genuinely love what I do and try to give the children in my care the attention and respect any parent would. I love arts and crafts and music, and I do try to expose my clients to both, whenever possible! I am CPR/First Aid certified. I am a non smoker. I have my own transportation and would love to meet you and your family for an interview to get to know everyone. I am happy to help with meal prep, dishes, laundry, baby food, sleep training, and everything else that comes with babies and toddlers and children alike. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, and I do look forward to hearing from you.

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.
