A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Natalie. I’ve been working with children for years now, enough to know that I love my job and there’s nothing else I rather do. I most recently had my own classroom of 24 children ages 3-5 and would prepare and graduate them to kindergarten. Children are amazing. They teach me to be humble and stay true to simplicity as I teach them abc’s, numbers, animals, holidays, the days in the week and so on.

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is A’mya and I am a sophomore at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. I’ve recently returned from an out of state summer camp and am now eager to find a loving family to support. I've spent the last few years caring for newborns, toddlers, and primary school-aged children. I’ll be available if your family needs full-time, part-time, live-in, live-out, or occasional support. I’m able to assist with homework or any other needs your child may have. I also have experience working with children with special needs.

If you're seeking a reliable and compassionate sitter who will go the extra mile to ensure your family's well-being, I'd love to connect with you. Feel free to send me a message if you're interested in discussing how I can be of assistance to your family. I can't wait to meet you and your little ones! My email is [email hidden]

A little bit about me

Hi!

I am 24 years old. I’ve nannied in high school but stopped due to going to college away from home. I am currently working a finance job but feel incomplete due to my love for children/connecting with others. I am a proud born again Christian and spend my free time serving our community and with friends/family. I also dedicate a lot of time to helping raise my 5 year old Godchild. I truly hope to find a family I can connect with and assist!

Also, I am not FirstAid/CPR certified yet but I did do four years of sports education as a hobby so I’m knowledgeable of what to do in emergency situations! I do understand that the certifications are important despite my experience so I am working towards enrolling in classes soon!

God bless!

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

Lafayette 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.
