A little bit about me

Hello my name is Cienna. I just moved here from New Mexico where I taught dance to children of all ages. I have been babysitting and nannying for the past 6 years. We adopted my little brother when I was 15 years old and I took care of him from ages 1-6. I was a nanny to a 2 year old girl for a year. I would take her to daycare, pick her up, make her dinner, get her ready for bed, and put her to bed a few times a week. Needless to say I have years of experience with children. I love children and watching them grow into amazing people. I am flexible with my hours and willing to travel with the family if needed.

A little bit about me

Hi my name is Chloe. I am a 22 year old responsible nurturing energetic mother. As a parent when you are away you want someone to care for and look after your kids just as you would. You think of the minor things that you hope for them to look out for... I am equipped with an OVERLOAD of patience. I have experience of course with my own two children and working in a childcare setting / school where i was the teacher's assistant to three and four year Olds. I enjoy being around kids and learning so much from them and how to appreciate the simple things in life. Being a part of their daily routine or lives in general is a huge impact. I am here to relieve you of your duty and to help you and make things just a little bit smoother..... Oh and lots of fun

A little bit about me

Hi, parents! My name is Hannah, and I am a sophomore studying at Loyola University. I am from Lafayette, LA, and I have been babysitting for family and other parents for a little over 4 years now. I have a gentle, fun personality, and I’ve found that I love babysitting. My inspiration for this is a girl who babysat me and my younger brother when we were little; I remember she made everything fun and engaging! When I babysit, that is the same experience, I strive to maintain for both the children I am sitting as well as the parents. While I am going through a rigorous class schedule, I am also adept at time management and will work with parents to provide the services they may need.

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.
