A little bit about me

Hello to all my wonderful parents! My name is Arianna Banks. I’m currently a nursing student with a strong passion for caring for others, especially children. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I have hands-on experience working with infants and toddlers both through one year of daycare experience and caring for children in my own family.

I’m responsible, patient, and very safety-focused. I love helping kids learn and have fun through arts and crafts, outdoor play, and other engaging activities. I also assist with meal prep, homework support, and I’m consistent with bedtime routines to help keep children on a steady schedule.

I’d love the opportunity to be a reliable and positive support to your family while giving you peace of mind that your child is safe, cared for, and happy.

A little bit about me

Im Malajah Peters, im 23 and a 5th year student at LSU majoring in Sociology (the study of people and behavior) which comes in handy when working with children! I attended Union Parish High and graduated top of my class. I have tons of experience as im the youngest of 7 children and my older siblings have kids; I have 2 nephews and 4 nieces and im their favorite person! Ive babysat for my siblings when their kids were only a few weeks old all the way until they started school. One of my nephews does have autism so I’m experienced in that area. I’ve also been through all the hard things like colic, random burst of energy, anxiety, adhd, insomnia etc. I can also help with any homework or extracurricular needs! Im great with kids and babysitting is something I love to do!

I am a 17-year-old who is outgoing, friendly, and positive. I enjoy meeting new people and creating a welcoming environment wherever I go.

I work well with others, maintain a positive attitude, and always strive to be dependable and respectful. I'm eager to continue learning, growing, and making a positive impact wherever I work or volunteer.

A little bit about me

I am a freshman at LSU studying kinesiology and I am in Phi mu. I babysit at home for the past 2 years and I love it! I love doing fun things with the kids but I will also make sure they get what they need to done and also clean up after them and make sure the house looks better than before. I am CPR certified and was a certified EMR but never updated my certification after high school. I have a reliable car and a drivers license so I am able to get kids where they need to be if needed.

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Baton Rouge, 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 Baton Rouge can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Baton Rouge 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.
