A little bit about me

My name is Annee, I’m 30 years old. I am working on a degree in early childhood development and have 4 years experience as a caregiver for all ages, including adults. Before that I worked for a time at a Montessori. Some skills and attributes I would highlight are organization, compassion, patience, reliability, and transparency. I have experience with meal prep (baking and cooking), house work, pool maintenance, gardening, and can pick up on any other necessary skills quite easily.
My ideal job would be a hybrid of household chores and child care.
I haven’t moved to the area yet, but I am laying the ground work to do so, either this summer or next, depending on if I can find the right job for me.

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Tiondra Harris. I am 20 years old and currently enrolled in university(online). While my dream is to become a veterinarian, I do hold a spot for youth in my heart. I was raised that there are three things that are the most defenseless in this world that need to be looked for: animals, children, and the elderly!

 While I do not have any paid experience with babysitting at the moment, I do have experience with my own personal family. I have a niece that was born premature and is going to be 6 months soon, and I have been along for the ride ever since helping to take care of her. While in college, I have also taken two psychology course, one in general psychology, the other in developmental psychology.

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.
