A little bit about me

Hello, I am currently a college freshman in my second semester. I grew up babysitting my younger cousins and sister and have also worked with special needs individuals throughout high school. My ultimate goal in applying for this position is to not only assist busy parents but also invest in our future generations. I am very passionate about intentionally spreading love and uplifting and inspiring the youth. Many young ones look up to me, and I use that as my motivation to keep going and to continue positively influencing others. With all this in mind, I believe I would serve not only as an excellent babysitter/nanny but also as a listening ear and an inspiration to everyone I encounter.

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Emma Smith. I'm a 20 year old female with 6 years of experience in child care. Starting in my freshman year of high school I taught religion to a class of 1st-3rd graders. In this position, I learned the basics of teaching children things like reading comprehension and understanding concepts. I held this position for four years until I started my current job at Knock Knock Children's Musem. There, I learned different ways of teaching STEM concepts to different age groups. I also learned the importante of harnessing a child's creativity. I am CPR and First Aid certified, I have a car and am capable of running errands if needed. I am a proud dog mom, so I have no problem with pets. And lastly i would love the opportunity to serve you and your family!

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.
