A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Kenya Horton and I am 20 years old and am very interested in this job posting. I have 5 years experience as a babysitter, which I was an after school sitter and a sitter on weekends, for kids newborn through the 8th grade. I am also a tutor so I can help with homework and learning. I also have my own car and a clean driving record, so I could pick up household needs or even take the kids to the park.

I am very loving, patient and outgoing and love having activities that children will find entertaining. Babysitting is something I love doing because everyday is different and new and it’s amazing being part of a child learning and growing as a person. I look forward to hearing from you.

A little bit about me

I’m 52. I have worked with infants in my church ministry for a few years. I also have 5 grown children of my own. I have NO criminal background whatsoever. I have a car. I’m very friendly. Babies, children and pets usually gravitate towards me. I’m a good person. I’m from Arabi. My last job was taking care of my husband’s grandmother. I did this for the last 3 years of her life. She was wheelchair dependent so I cooked for her, light cleaning, took her to the doctor and went grocery shopping for her. I can cook. I like to be productive so I don’t mind cleaning.
I consider myself a good, honest person.
I have 3 years of college, paralegal major.
I’ve done an internship with a judge. I’m a quick learner and I am willing to learn new things.

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Ashante' Boyd and I'm 26 years old. My passion is kids and has been since a little girl. Kids are my happy place, and they bring so much joy in my life. I've been the family babysitter since before I started talking. I'm always holding somebody baby and I'm always helping somebody raise their child. Being with kids is so natural to be and being a caregiver is so natural also. I'm also CDA certified and CPR. I plan to go back to school to finish my education degree in Early Childhood education. I have a doggy named Miracle she is 1 years old is a very lovely friend. I don't have any kids yet as I'm currently struggling to conceive due to my endometriosis. This is a little about me and I hope to hear from a few soon.

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.
