A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Jorja. I am 21 years old and love children!! I’ve been babysitting kids for as long as I can remember. I’ve worked at a nursery, child daycare, and with children with special needs in ABA Therapy. I am first aide and CPR certified. I am also a certified EMT! I am super creative and love to find new ways to get kids and babies hands on. When I worked at the nursery I was with children aged 3months -3 years. While I worked at the day care I worked with babies, toddlers, and school aged. I don’t think of myself as just a nanny. I think of myself as part of the family. I know how important family is, so I’d like to meet you guys personally. I hope to meet with you and your family soon so we can determine if I’m a good fit. Thank you for taking the time!

"Jorja was very attentive and great with the children. She worked with ages three months to seven years. She would get down to their level and play with them. She also subbed in my classroom and caught onto our routine quickly. I know I could always count on her when I had to step out or was dealing with a situation."

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Cody. I am a transplant from Kansas City! I am currently working on my teaching certificate but have been in Education for over 10 years! I have worked with every age group.

I hold a BA in history and taught in Special Education for 5 years in Missouri. I have held positions as a Case Manager, Teacher, Project Manager, and Office Manager. A very diverse background.

Personally, I am a mother of three boys, all which are pretty much grown. I am looking for a position that will allow me to enjoy and enrich others, while also pursuing my entertainment goals. I am a stand up comedian, so look out for laughs! I also own and operate my own production company. What can I say, I love New Orleans.

In the past, I was a stay at home mom, so I am very versed in all domestic responsibilities, and child rearing. I even homeschooled my three boys for two years! I would love to work with a family and support them on their path as parents. Thank you!

How to Find a Babysitter in New Orleans, LA

Nanny Lane is a child care website meant to help you find a babysitter in your area. Our child care services include background checks, a dedicated hiring agent, and payroll.

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.
