A little bit about me

I love working with all people, but I really love working with children. I have been working with children in a variety of settings for over 8 years. Teaching children is my passion.Previous to working with Mental Health in my experiences, I've worked with children in numerous settings, such as babysitting, recreational center, and schools as well as their homes. I looking for extra money to help with college. I have been accepted into Southern University at New Orleans where I'm obtaining my master's degree in Social Work. I'm doing the part-time session which is 3 years, but I can work around my school schedule.

My Dreams are to become a Hospital Social Worker or a Foster Mother when I earn my MSW. Working with children has taught me to understand that children come into the world with a blank slate. The experiences, environment, adults, as well as surroundings, are what shape them into who they become. I feel our responsibility as parents and caregivers are to provide children with the best possible education, knowledge, and choices so they are able to grow to their maximum potential. If Your willing to give me a chance I promise not to let you down.

Thank You,
Miss. Bernadette

A little bit about me

I have experience working in daycares and as a Pre-K assistant teacher, which has given me a strong foundation in caring for and supporting young children. As the oldest of six siblings, I’ve spent many years helping care for children of different ages, so childcare has always been a natural part of my life. I also have experience working with children with special needs and strive to provide patient, understanding, and individualized care. I’m calm, kind, organized, and keep a clean environment. I believe every moment spent with a child is an opportunity to help them learn, grow, and feel safe, so I make every interaction intentional and meaningful.

A little bit about me

Hi!
I’m Ava. I am a senior in high school. I have spent years babysitting and caring for my little cousins, which influenced my decision to pursue babysitting/nannying as a job. I was a nanny for a family in the summer of 2024. The children’s ages ranged from infant to 10 years old. I really enjoyed caring for this family and look forward to helping a new family in need

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

Metairie 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.
