A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Harlie Heinen, I am 20 years old. I just moved back to home from living in Baton Rouge! I have my own house and also more than happy to care for your kids at your house for yours and their comfort!
I am attending Mcneese State University to get a second degree in nursing. I have a huge family my cousins range from 1 month old to 18 years old and have watched all ages! My sister has a 9 month old that I watch a few times a week for right now.
 Also, I lived with my cousin to take care of her 2 year old and 8 month old for 6 months! I am not CPR certified but am willing to do it to relieve any anxiety! I do have athletic training experience for 2 years and have treated asthma attacks to broken bones and everything in between!
I am very passionate about the up bringing of children and how they perceive the world. I was raised to treat everyone with respect and try to put a smile one everyone’s face due to not knowing what they are going through!

A little bit about me

I’m the oldest of eight kids, i’ve help take care of them since i could remember. I adore little babies, i love reading, i love playing with my brothers and teaching them all about their imagination. I believe in safety first and i enjoy making people smile. i believe that laughter is good for the heart. I feel that we must pass on the knowledge that we’ve learned to the next generation and teach them that there is still kindness in this world. i’m a quick learner and i am very active, i love to play and exercise as well as take my siblings to the park and museums.

A little bit about me

So, although I only have one child myself( I will gladly disclose more personal details in the event that we move forward), I do also have a lot of experience in classrooms from 6th to 12 grade. I am a certified tutor( focused intensely on high school math and English, primarily G. E. D prep) I will say that I do tend to keep some areas of my speech and writing relaxed. Therefore, should you notice any grammatical or spelling errors, I'm sincerely apologizing in advance, assurring you that your children would not be encouraged towards such mistakes.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Nora and I am a first year student at TCC. I graduated from Bishop Kelley High School and am taking a year to get my basics done and save some money. I love kids and I worked as an aftercare school teacher for two years in high school. I also was a life guard for two years so I am trained in first aid and CPR. The majority of my school classes are online so my schedule is pretty open and flexible. I have a lot of experience with kids because I have younger siblings, younger cousins, and I have been taking babysitting jobs ever since I was old enough to. I have a car that can fit car seats if needed and hold up to 4 passengers (including the front seat). I love meeting new faces and embracing new families!

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

Lake Charles 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.
