A little bit about me

My name is Emily, and I’ve worked with children of all ages, from newborns and infants to toddlers and school-aged kids. I truly enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and creating a safe, fun, and caring environment where they can feel comfortable and be themselves.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with many wonderful families over the years, whether for date nights, recurring schedules, school breaks, or occasional babysitting needs. I’m comfortable helping with meals, bedtime routines, homework, outdoor play, arts and crafts, and keeping little ones entertained throughout the day.

I currently have availability this summer for date nights, occasional babysitting, and recurring care. If you’re looking for a dependable sitter, feel free to reach out. I’d love to learn more about your family and see how I can help!

A little bit about me

I am excited to bring my experience as a reliable, nurturing, and attentive childcare professional to help your children and family thrive. I have several years of in-home experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, supporting daily routines, meal preparation, early learning, and safe, engaging activities.

I prioritize emotional well-being, positive guidance, and age-appropriate developmental support. With a background in education and child development, I naturally incorporate learning into daily routines through reading, creative play, and outdoor activities. Families value my strong communication skills, dependability, and calm, supportive presence.

I am CPR and First Aid certified and committed to providing a safe, structured, and loving environment for children and peace of mind for parents. I have many years of teaching experience and would welcome the opportunity to support your family. I look forward to discussing how I can meet your childcare needs.

"Julia was an amazing nanny for my boys! At the time we had a five year-old and 18 month old. She created engaging lesson plans for my boys that met them where they were. She took them to the library, down to the farmers market to see live music, to the park, to the zoo, and even made just hanging out at our house or in the backyard a fun and educational time! She did science experiments and arts and crafts and ran and played with them. She was patient and kind and did not ignore them so she could be on her phone. We all (husband and kids included) reminisce fondly about her! She was one of the best things that happened to our family during that season of life. I would, without a doubt, recommend her to anyone looking for a similar experience!"

A little bit about me

I am a 20-year-old college student currently attending Loyola University New Orleans, where I am majoring in criminology but considering switching to psychology with a minor in sports medicine. I work a 9–5 job at a daycare, which reflects my responsibility and care for others. In my free time, I enjoy listening to Disney music and watching Disney movies, showing my fun and nostalgic side. I prefer eating homemade meals over dining out, and I stay active by working out and spending time with my siblings playing sports like basketball, volleyball, and football.

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, PLUS, 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.
