A little bit about me

Hello,
My name is Elizabeth Hithe, I am a 53 year old woman, I have countless years of raising kids. I have raised 6 children of my own, five are grown and I am still raising my twelve year old daughter. I also worked with Boystown USA, living in a group home with at-risk youth. I am very energetic and love I working with kids. My twelve year old daughter is a great visual artist, did I mention that she also love kids. My daughter told me that she wanted to get a summer job doing babysitting. I love to make all of her wishes come true. So I decided to join platform, so that we may work as a team. Thank You for your consideration.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Jania & I’m 20 years old. Currently I’m a Certified Pharmacy Technician and school student. Since young, I’ve babysat my god sisters & god brothers. Though I don’t have paid experience nannying, I have years of caring for people in general. I’m a caring, empathetic person. I’m understanding and have been a voice of reasoning for many kids. I understand that kids will always be kids and it is up to the adult to teach them the best way to handle their natural characteristics.

A little bit about me

I am 16 years old, I make 17 in August! I have been watching kids since I was 11. I love kids and they really brighten my day. I know how to cook breakfast food and a little bit of dinner food (the simple stuff) lol. I am very goofy and find it that the kids will enjoy my company. Every child that I have watched has always loved me and found me very entertaining. So when it comes to kids I’m very lovable. NO MEN CAN BE IN THE HOUSE AT THE TIME OF ME WATCHING YOUR KIDS/KID.

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.
