A little bit about me

I'd describe my personality as funny, outgoing, and compassionate!
Working with kids is ideal because they're brilliant, and are truly capable of so much when given a wonderful, stimulating environment! Currently, I'm open to both full time and part time reoccurring positions. I've been working with kids for over 6 years, with 3 being full time and part time reoccurring positions. I started working with kids when I was a freshman in high school and continued with babysitting gigs through the years as an extra source of income. One thing you should know about me is I make phenomenal snacks! My skills include time management, snack preparation, homework help, and school pickup/drop off.

A little bit about me

I come from a mixed family of 7 kids, me being the oldest. I grew up taking care of my siblings and babysitting for my parents friends. I’ve had many babysitting jobs with toddlers. I am very talkative and entertaining which is good for young children. I’m very patient, empathetic, and compassionate. I will be very attentive and engaged while i’m caring for your children, you will never find me on my phone. I like to be active and do fun things outside of the house with the kids. i was a straight A student, so i can help with school work if necessary. Also I love to clean and organized, and am willing to help around the house whenever. At home, i have a cat and a 12 year old dog, who I adore. I take care of them as if they were my children, because in a way they are. One of my favorite things to do is cook, i’m constantly looking for new recipes and making up ideas for meals. I am flexible with days and times but i’m looking for something more so during the week days.

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.
