A little bit about me

Hi lovely families! I’m a student at the University of Southern California majoring in art.

I have over eight years of experience in various childcare positions. I’ve been a babysitter, a reader for Jumpstart, a camp counselor, and more. I have references available on request.

I enjoy using gentle and compassionate techniques that give your child the space to fully express themselves. As an artist myself, I love incorporating art and creative practices during playtime.

A little bit about me

Hello,
My name is Jayla , I’m 19 years old, and I bring years of experience as a reliable nanny and caretaker. I’ve cared for children of all ages. My experience comes not only from working with families professionally, but also from caring for neighbors and relatives over the years. These opportunities have helped shape my strong sense of responsibility, patience, and trustworthiness.
I’m also CPR and EMR certified, and I have my own vehicle with assisted driving features to ensure safe and reliable transportation.
I’m currently a sophomore at Dillard University, majoring in Health Science. I’m originally from Ponchatoula, LA, and I’m proud to be a Dean’s List student. My ultimate goal is to become a dentist focusing on pediatric practice . As of now I’m looking for flexible work opportunities to help support myself through college.

Best regards,
Jayla Walker

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.
