A little bit about me

I’m Sarah, a 32yr old online Reseller.
I’d write more but it wouldn’t fit into <1000 characters. Message me and I can send more info to you.

In 2019, I moved to Lake Charles from Houston to help my friends out with their four; 1 , 10 & 12 yr old girls, & 6 yr old boy at the time.

I moved back to Texas at the beginning of 2020; my boyfriend insisted on buying a house, but as we all know, 2020 had other plans. Things didn’t pan out so well, as we both lost our jobs & I’m now back in Lake Charles with my friends and their 4 kiddos again.
Now, I make online sales on many platforms. I left my link below if you’d like to check out my profiles.
I love kids & am in need of some more consistencies in my life. I’m your perfect candidate! If you need references just reach out. I’m looking for long or short term, part time.

Thanks so much for your time,
Sarah Goddin

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Daneya, and I’m an 18-year-old high school senior. I’m a responsible, patient, and caring person who enjoys working with kids and helping families feel comfortable knowing their children are safe. I have experience working in fast-paced jobs like Foot Locker, Raising Cane’s, and Market Basket, which taught me how to stay calm, follow rules, and handle responsibilities.
I’m very dependable, good at communicating, and I always make sure kids feel happy, safe, and respected. I can help with meals, homework, bedtime routines, and keeping children entertained with fun and positive activities. I take babysitting seriously and always try to be someone parents can trust.

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.
