A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Eva, I’m a student at Tulane University majoring in Psychology and Early Childhood Education. I have several years of childcare experience with ages ranging from 6 weeks to 13 years old, including babysitting, camp counseling, and early childhood education. I love creating a warm, engaging, and screen-free environment while keeping children safe, supported, and having fun. While I do not currently have my own car, I am very familiar with the Uptown New Orleans area and am extremely comfortable walking, using public transportation, or getting to families reliably. I also have a clean driver’s license and am comfortable driving children when needed using a family vehicle. I’m responsible, communicative, and flexible, and I truly enjoy building positive relationships with both kids and parents. I’m looking for part-time babysitting or nannying opportunities and would love to support your family!

A little bit about me

I’ve had the opportunity to work with children in a variety of settings, and it’s something I truly enjoy. At the Manning Family Children’s Hospital in New Orleans, I assisted nurses on the Trauma and Physician’s Emergency Certificate floors, helping with daily tasks and ensuring that the children felt supported. Currently, I work at Lawrence D. Crocker Charter School, where I teach ESL classes, lead art activities, and assist with reading practice, helping students grow both academically and creatively.

I have experience babysitting children from 6 months to 12 years old and have also tutored middle schoolers in math, reading, and art at the Boys & Girls Club. Working with children has been a meaningful part of my journey, and I love making a positive impact in their lives. I’m experienced in tasks like preparing meals and changing diapers, and I have my own car, so transportation—including pickups and drop-offs—is never an issue.

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.
