A little bit about me

Hello!
I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology with several years of professional experience working with children in both educational and behavioral settings. I've had the opportunity to support children with different personalities, learning styles, and individual needs. Those experiences strengthened my patience, creativity, and ability to build positive relationships with children while helping them learn and grow. Caring for children is something I truly enjoy because every day is an opportunity to make a positive impact. I love creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children feel comfortable being themselves.

A little bit about me

Hey, I’m Kayden! 23 years young & I’ve been tending for children since I was gifted with a baby sister at 4 years old.
I helped my mom with my sister at a really young age then later, at 14, helped another sister raise my niece.
Enjoying every minute!
I take pride in the strong connections I’m easily able to make with children.
So, now that I’m living far from family & I can’t be there to help raise my newborn nephew. It’s only fair I use my skills to help you care for your children of New Orleans.
I specialize in motor skills in infants
Toddler speech skills & understanding of “potty time”
Young 5’s communication & penmanship skills
Though, I am not a tutor; your child will benefit highly from the time spent with me.
It’s understood that cleaning and cooking is a part of being a nanny & I greatly accept that.

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.
