"Nee was the first nanny we worked with when we welcomed our son. As a first time mom, I wanted to know that he would be in excellent hands with someone who is very present and as obsessed with him as I was. Nee was truly so patient and caring in every moment of being with my son. I knew he was in excellent care and was grateful to learn from as I navigated this transition myself. Nee was so sweet, cuddly, playful, calm, patient, thorough and unflappable. She was up for anything (including cutting his nails!) and was so competent and confident. I completely trusted Nee and highly recommend her."

A little bit about me

Hello parents, my name is Jen. I've been around a lot of children and I love kids. I like doing arts and crafts and playing games. My nieces and nephews think I'm a lot of fun when I do get to see them. I also like pets so if you have pets then I can take care of them as well. I love engaging and learning the mind of the kids I meet and help them blossom. I'm also a previous EMT. My hours are flexible. I understand trying to find someone that will care for and love your child is a hard thing to do. Children are the most pure interactions I believe one may have in their life. Keeping them safe and loved will always be a priority to me.

"Jennifer was amazing with my son! They went on adventures to the park, or to play outside. She did arts and crafts with him, and always engaged in activities with him. He was never bored with her, and he loved her so much. I trust her with my children, and would have her back if she was living closer to us again. He would always ask for Jenn to come over, and he would cry when she would leave. She is caring and compassionate. She is attentive and loving. She kept him on a nap schedule, and always made sure he was happy. I would recommend her for anyone looking for a nanny. She is fantastic."

A little bit about me

Looking for a compassionate & dedicated nanny with extensive experience? I’m highly skilled in caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I’ve provided bathing, feeding, dressing, changing diapers, naps, homework, meal prep, potty training, general house work, transportation, etc. I nannied from 2003 through 2014, went back to school, got a degree in Marketing, became the Marketing Manager for manufacturing company, then realized it wasn’t for me. I decided to get back into caregiving. For the past 5 years I worked as a part time doula and a full time nanny for families with infants and toddlers. I have doula experience in both birth and postpartum. Helping families is my passion. All children have different energies & personalities. I connect with each child’s unique development, assisting in positive guidance and growth. I have impeccable references (available by request). I’d love to hear about your needs.

"Naomi is wonderful, warm, and has tons of experience. She basically became a part of our family and is a third parent to our little ones. Naomi started looking after my children when my oldest was just 3 months old, and she was a real blessing. She is incredibly calm and nurturing, and cares deeply for the children she looks after. I don't think I've come across anyone who can form a bond with children as quickly and easily as she does. Toward the end of her time with us, she was looking after our 4-year-old and our one-year-old, and really helped them to blossom in confident, kind, children."

"Susan was the part time nanny for my daughter for several years. She picked up from school, oversaw schoolwork and fun. At times did dinner depending on schedules. Susan took her on adventures at the park and was really engaged with her directly. They have a relationship to this day. My daughter has dyslexia and went to a school that specialized in reading disorders. As such, she had an hour to two of work each night. Susan did a great job helping her get her work done while still making sure there was exploring and play time."

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.
