A little bit about me

Hello my name is Sarah!

I have many years of experience in caring for children of all ages. I have nannied in Asheville, NC where I am from, in Charlotte, NC while attending UNC Charlotte for four years and currently in Charleston, SC as a live-in au pair. While in Charlotte I babysat for a family where the ages ranged from 10 months old, 3 years old, and 5 years old. While babysitting for them I would help with making dinner, with baths, and just playing outside with the kids and playing games, and just doing whatever the kids wanted to do at home most of the time. I would also pick the kids up from dance class or from school often and helped the mother with things she needed done for the kids. I babysat five days a week for about 4-5 hours. Currently in Charleston, SC I babysit for two infants who are 8 and 10 months old. I am full-time and work from 8am-5 p.m. The daily routine consists of two naps a day, bottle feedings, baby food, play time and going on walks around the neighborhood! I am moving to New Orleans closer to August or so and am wanting to find a full-time nannying job.

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

New Orleans 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.
