Hi! My name is Tahj Williams. I graduated from Louise McGehee School in 2016 and Tulane University in May of 2020. My love for caring for children started when I was a camp counselor.

A little bit about me

Hiii! My name is Mariah, and I have been babysitting for as long as I can remember. As the eldest of six children, I have extensive experience in child and infant care. Currently, I am sixteen years old, hold a driver's license, and have my own car. I also work part-time and am a member of the class of 2026.

While I've been babysitting informally since childhood, I began receiving payment for my services in my community, including caring for my principal's son, about four years ago. I am creative in engaging children, encouraging learning, and ensuring their safety. My responsibilities also include cooking, cleaning, and assisting with homework.

I understand that children can sometimes be challenging, but my experience has equipped me with essential skills such as patience, flexibility, effective communication, problem-solving, emotional intelligence, and conflict resolution. If you have any questions or require further information, please feel free to reach out!

A little bit about me

I am a recent graduate from Loyola University New Orleans, and am looking for families to babysit for in the city. I love taking kids to the park, spending time with them playing board games, reading, and anything else kids like to do. When I’m not babysitting I love to run, go to yoga and Pilates classes, and spend time with my friends. I also would love to teach kids how to paint or do any other arts and craft activities.

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.
