I’m a single mom of 2 beautiful kids . My son is 4 and my daughter is 11. I was born and raised here in Lafayette and work full time for a local law firm. Their dads works offshore and his schedule is 21/21…

A little bit about us

I have a 5 year old daughter who is very independent. I just need someone to make sure she doesn't destroy the apartment. She is an only child so she's used to keeping herself busy. She doesn't require a lot of care. She keeps busy doing artsy stuff or watching you tube kid friendly shows or movies. I just need someone to sit with her. I usually have snacks ready for her but she'll tell you when she's hungry. She can be picky so I feed her when I know she'll eat and not waste food.
My schedule fluctuates depending on if family can babysit or not and my mom's health conditions.

A little bit about us

Soon to be a family of 4! Baby boy coming late April 2026.

During the summer, we are looking for help as we adjust from a family of 3 to a family of 4. Your main focus would be on our 2 year old daughter. Playing with her outside, going on walks, etc. This is definitely a more flexible schedule during the summer, and you will only be needed for an hour or two.

During the fall the hours and days will be more consistent. This is a part time offer that is mainly Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Tuesdays will between 1:30pm until 11pm and Wednesdays between 10:30 am to 6pm.
The times will change but 11pm would be the absolute latest and 10:30am would be the earliest.


**the ideal candidate will be able to work with us this summer and the fall. If you aren’t able to commit to the fall schedule please don’t reach out. We are wanting someone consistent.***

As parents we understand the struggle to find childcare, but we would prefer our nanny to not bring their own child. That is something we are willing to reconsider after sometime working together. Additionally, we do have one small dog- a corgi- she is energetic but friendly.


** Responsibilities will include: **
Feeding our daughter meals or snacks that will be already prepared (literally just need you to heat them up and serve her)

Nap time or bedtime routine

And engaging with her. She’s great a self play but taking her outside to play or go for walks is highly encouraged

Lastly, just child centric pickup. We are teaching her to put away her toys, but she’s 2 so she will need to be reminded or helped with that

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in Lafayette, LA

Before you start looking for a nanny job, it's essential to learn about the different types of nannies and how they compare to each other so that you make sure you’re looking for the right opportunities.

The different types of nanny jobs have different nanny responsibilities. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. However, in general, a nanny is responsible for making sure the children's needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to make sure your expectations are aligned with the family.

There are temporary nanny jobs, even seasonal nanny jobs like summer nanny jobs. Beyond seasonal and temporary nanny positions, there are differences between full-time and part-time nanny jobs. The primary difference being the number of hours you spend at your nanny job every week. For full-time nannies, there are options for live in nanny positions and live-out positions in Lafayette. Live-out positions are more common, but each family has their own set of needs that require different types of care, and live in nanny positions can be exactly what some families want. If you're looking to explore live in nanny positions , it's even more important to create a shared set of expectations around hours, responsibilities, and what is expected of you when you're not on the clock.

How to Interview for a Nanny Job in Lafayette, LA

Once you start connecting with prospective employers, the next step is a nanny job interview. Here is a list of some nanny interview questions to prepare for:

  • What do you think children like best about you?
  • What kind of activities will you do with children this age?
  • How do you handle problems that arise behaviorally and emotionally with kids this age?

Beyond answering questions, families will want you to have your nanny references ready and ask any questions to show initiative. The nanny job interview is an excellent opportunity to get aligned on the nanny job expectations. By doing this, you can get off on the right foot with your future employer.
