A little bit about me

I am currently a special education teacher at Prairie Elementary and have been working with kids for as long as I can remember. I love to play, teach, and help kids learn and grow. Because of my background in education, I’m comfortable helping with homework, reading, and learning activities. I also enjoy just having good old fashioned fun- playing games, doing crafts, going outside, and keeping kids engaged. I’m patient, dependable, and enjoy building positive relationships with the kids I work with.

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Lesli — a fun, warm, and reliable caregiver who truly loves working with kids. I was a nanny for the same family for five years, which allowed me to build strong bonds and provide consistent, loving care. I’ve worked in daycare, church childcare, coached high school volleyball, and taught swim lessons to all ages — from tiny 3-month-olds to adults! I’m often called a “baby whisperer” because of my calm, nurturing nature and ability to help little ones feel comfortable quickly. I love creating a safe, happy, and engaging environment where kids can learn, play, and feel confident. I’m dependable, organized, and excited to support your family however I can!

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Louisiana

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 can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Louisiana 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.
