A little bit about me

Over the years, I’ve discovered that I love to care, teach, and look after children. Looking after many family members of various ages has prepared me to become a full-time nanny! If I had to describe myself in three words, compassionate, outgoing, and dependable would be the three! I focus on education and creativity while including fun activities. I believe all children are different and special in their own way, and adapting to their differences is my forte!

A little bit about me

I am a devoted mom of a one and a half year old boy. I'm hoping to babysit someone generally close around his age... That way they get to socialize and have fun together. I have a babyproofed home in a safe neighborhood. Furniture is anchored to the walls, the outlets are covered, there is a baby gate guarding the kitchen, etc. There's plenty of toys to play with. My son has a whole room full of them, and he doesnt mind sharing. I'm willing to cook for them and accommodate their needs however you see fit. I have no pets. I was in the military, and I worked in the medical field for Acadian Ambulance. I am CPR and BLS certified. I can provide the credentials if needed. I've got plenty of love and energy to share with your little one(s).

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

Alexandria 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.
