A little bit about me

Hello, I am a student at Southern University and A&M College studying psychology. I have been volunteering with the big buddy program, working with children from ages 5-16. I also work with them in an after-school program with students in the first, second, and third grade. I am also the eldest of six siblings and have been babysitting since I was about 8 years old. I have experience babysitting special needs children as well. I have babysat children from ages 3 months to 15 years old. I love children and love working with them. I hope to soon become a Pediatric Psychologist.

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Sadee! I am 24 and mostly just stay home hanging with my cats when I’m not with friends and family. I promise to care for your little family members as if they were my own. I babysat all throughout high school, but I would honestly say the best of my experience would be the ones out of work environments. Dealing with nieces and nephews for well over 7 years has prepped me for any situation haha

A little bit about me

My name is Maggie, and I have been a nanny to many children throughout my lifetime. Being a nanny has been one of the biggest and most significant rewards of my lifetime, along with raising two beautiful, successful sons.
I believe in full-on interaction and engagement and keeping children laughing, learning and feeling safe & confident that you are the momma bear that would do anything for them giving parents the much-needed break.
I have had children fall asleep in my arms while smiling so big; it's still there when the sun comes up in the morning. I have traveled and taken care of the little ones, always making sure we have a full and exciting day, and I am not ashamed to wear smeared makeup or put a Teenage mutant turtle costume on and be a strong pizza-eating warrior. I attend school events with the children and tell them how important they are to me, even if they like throwing water balloons or playing in the mud; I have a massive sense of humor as well as proactive in safety.

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.
