A little bit about me

Dear Reader,
I am writing this to express my interest in nannying for your family. I grew up as the eldest daughter in a large Christian family. Throughout my childhood, my Mother was a stay at home mother, who homeschooled and tended to her seven children.
Being the eldest daughter, I also became fluent in the language of cooking, daily chores, and loving childcare. When my mother went back to work as a math professor at Tulane University, I essentially became a second mother to my siblings. From age twelve onwards, I managed most of the cooking and household chores, as well as tutoring my four younger siblings in music, latin, mathematics, and english grammar.
While in highschool, I was fortunate enough to take dual enrollment at two prestigious New Orleans Universities; Tulane and Loyola. Although academics have always come easily, childcare has always been my passion.
Thank you for considering me!
Sincerely,
Caterina Gamundi

A little bit about me

Hi my name is Alissa but everyone knows me by Lou Lou. I am 29 years old and I currently live in Covington, La.
I love reading, spending time outdoors, rains storms, experimental baking and cooking for loved ones, trying new crafts. Through life as a child and young adult I have spent a lot of time watching over the neighborhood children and their pets as well. I love being around children, especially babies! I understand how much nurturing and attention they need at such a tender time in their lives and it’s a passion of mine to always search for meaningful interactions in my life. I would love the opportunity to work with any families who are open to working with me! I am willing to obtain any certifications that would make sense to your family for me to have.
Please message me with any questions you might have for me.

Warmly,
Lou Lou

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

Covington 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.
