A little bit about me

I’m a compassionate and experienced caregiver with a background in healthcare and child development. I hold a degree in Health Sciences from Southeastern Louisiana University and am certified in CPR/BLS and as a CNA. I’ve worked hands-on with children on the autism spectrum as an ABA line technician, where I implemented behavior therapy plans and supported kids through daily activities with patience and care.

I’m known for being detail-oriented, reliable, and nurturing. My healthcare background has taught me the importance of safety, communication, and building trust with both children and their families. Whether you need an extra set of hands for after-school routines or a sitter who can provide structure and support for kids with unique needs, I’m here to help!

Let’s connect—I’d love to be part of your child’s care team!

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is La'Niya Williams, and I’m 19 years old, currently a sophomore at Southern University A&M College, majoring in Business Management. I’ve worked in childcare for 3 years, including at Kids R Kids in Atlanta, Georgia. As a floater, I worked with children of all ages, but I spent the most time with 1-2-year-olds and 4-5-year-olds, where I feel most comfortable.

I’m patient, flexible, and communicate well with both kids and parents. Being young and active, I love engaging with kids through play and activities. I’m also happy to assist with household chores, meal prep, homework help, or anything else that’s needed.

With my experience, I know what to expect in various childcare situations, and I’m ready to step in and support your family in any way I can!

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

Baton Rouge 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.
