A little bit about me

Hello there.My name is Courtney Guillory. I am from Lake Charles, La. I am looking to help families in the area! I have always loved children. As a young teenager, I babysat for family and cared for children of all ages. For 4 years, I worked at St. Luke Simpson Childcare here in Lake Charles where I befriended many families who welcomed me into their home to babysit their children. If I had to put a number on the families that I babysit for, it would be about 15. I love children so much that I first studied Early Childhood Education in college. After realizing that there are children and adults who suffer from mental disabilities, I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from McNeese State University. I recently graduated with my Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Lamar University. I currently work as a School Counselor at an elementary school in Sulphur . Please feel free to reach out for additional questions!

A little bit about me

Im 40 years old with hands on experience with working with children. I know what it takes to bring up kids the proper way and to maintain what is needed to provide a safe and healthy living. I dont mind do extra work such as cooking, cleaning, helping with school work, taking kids on outings. I am a very rounded individual who has some college experience in office technology,sociology, psychology,and parenting.
I believe that each child should receive individual treatment because each one is different

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.
