A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Judy Boudreaux, I’m 54 years of age. I have 14 years Nanny experience. I love working with children, children are very unique in their own way, very fun and loving. I was with my first family for 10 years. I ran errands, did school pickups, meal preps, light housekeeping. Did arts and crafts with the children, read them stories at nap time. Played sports, went on walks with the children. I’m very flexible with hours. I also slept over when needed, did weekend babysitting when needed. I also have several years of day care experience. I have a dependable vehicle. I’m very loving and patient with children. I also have references. If interested please contact me.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Mallory and I’m a 22 year old female. I’ve worked primarily in the customer service and hospitality environments, but childcare is where my heart truly is. I have 2 nieces (14 months and 6 months) and a nephew (5 months) and they are my entire world. I have been an extremely involved aunt since the moment they were born. I watch them alone fairly often throughout the week and am the most trusted in my family when it comes to anyone needing a babysitter. I also nannied 2 boys (ages 9 and 5) for about a year back when I was 16 and was adored by the boys and frequently hired by the parents up until they moved states.

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.
