A little bit about me

Hello! I’m Lacie, a 21-year-old who’s thrilled to embark on this nanny journey. I recently relocated from Texas to help my grandparents and save money for online college. With experience babysitting for family, friends, and neighbors’ children, I’ve learned how to engage kids in playtime, provide homework support, prepare meals, and establish daily routines. I genuinely love working with kids and creating safe, enjoyable, and engaging environments for them. While I’m still pursuing CPR and First Aid certifications, I’m committed to being fully prepared for any situation. I’m known for my reliability, patience, and unwavering dedication to providing exceptional childcare.

A little bit about me

My name is Brooklynne, I am originally from Illinois and moved to Lafayette. I currently attend the university of Louisiana working towards my masters in exercise science, where I also just completed my final season competing as a college track and field athlete #RaginCajun. I have worked athletic camps and summer camps working with the kids have been some of the highlights while being in Lafayette. Just like a kid I can be highly energetic or relaxed, I love to be outside and run around but I also enjoy being inside playing games or just chilling out. I like to think I’m great with kids but everyone knows you might run into a tantrum every once in a while. However I have two brothers and numerous cousins between all of them I can handle anything thrown at me.

Hi, My names is Myra! I’m a 17yr old soon to be David Thibodaux stem magnet academy graduate 👩‍🎓. I enjoy the outdoors and doing arts and crafts. Growing up as the oldest I’ve always watched over my siblings . On top of that my mother owned a daycare which I worked in everyday after school. I enjoy the company of kids and making sure they’re well cared for. Kids are a blessing to this world and should be looked over by someone who cares for them, their safety and their health. I hope to hear from your family about your little ones to see if I can fulfill their needs.

A little bit about me

I am a former teacher with more than 15 years of teaching experience. I have two teaching degrees. One in early childhood education (pre-k through 3rd grade) and elementary education (1st-5th). Most of my experience comes from teaching kindergarten through second grade. I am semi fluent in Spanish and Portuguese.
As a nanny, I am not only watching that your child is safe and secure, but I am using my past love of teaching to meet your child where they are academically. In short, I will be, not only a nanny, but a tutor as well.
I am a quick learner with many skills including light house detail and cooking. I am also great with animals as I have two of my own. Some of my other skills include exceptional organizational skills, homeschooling, pet sitting, upkeep of house plants, laundry, and wonderful people skills. People describe me as very people friendly, approachable, respectful, genuine, transparent, and punctual.

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.
