A little bit about me

I am a very happy outgoing person. I have one daughter whom I'm very proud of, and she is an ICU nurse.
I love children and enjoy being around their sweet innocent energy. Seeing kids grow and blossom and being apart of this experience is very rewarding for me. I have cared for all ages of children newborns, toddlers and elementary kids. I’m a trust worthy and dependable person and you can feel assured your children will be safe and taken very well under my care. I'm a very loving and nurturing person and working with children is very rewarding to me and for them as well.
My last nanny assignment was with three boys ages 5, 7 and 8. The 5 and 7 year-old had autism which required me to have a lot of patience and understanding to their needs. My last day with working with that family was 5/12/26 , because the mother will no longer be working during the day and didn't need coverage for her overnight shifts.

"I highly recommend Tasha as a nanny and caregiver. She was truly a blessing to my family — dependable, flexible, compassionate, and always willing to go above and beyond for my children. My kids absolutely adore her and even refer to her as their “Nana.” She is an excellent communicator, extremely trustworthy, and cares for children as if they were her own. Any family would be lucky to have her, and I would recommend her again without hesitation."

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.
