A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Chanté and I am a senior in high school! I have recently started back up with babysitting to save up for college and other activities such as traveling. I am a patient, compassionate, and empathetic sitter looking to provide care for families!

I am willing to do task such as arts and crafts, playing games, homework help, reading stories, light housekeeping, etc.

Personally, my hobbies include reading, photography, and journaling! I love day time walks and watching my favorite comfort movies!

A little bit about me

I’m a passionate, experienced childcare professional with over 6 years in early childhood education and 3 years of in-home nanny experience. I’ve worked with children from 6 weeks to 5 years old, supporting developmental milestones, daily routines, and behavioral guidance. I bring the structure of a teacher with the warmth of a second family member. My extensive training includes nationally accredited conferences and certifications in early learning, which allow me to create engaging, safe, and nurturing environments. I specialize in children with behavioral or developmental needs and take pride in creating personalized care for every child. My references are impeccable, my approach is intentional, and my heart is fully in this work. I’m currently building my nanny business and would be honored to serve your family with dedication, trust, and joy.

A little bit about me

I love to explore the world with the children I care for. This means asking silly questions and creating silly answers (and finding out the "real" ones). It means lifting up rocks to see the beetles and worms underneath. It means dancing through the house to a song we create. It means having fun while we both learn something new.

I have been in childcare since my late teens, and have over 10 years experience as a nanny. I became a certified Birth Doula in 2016 and have since become an expert in infant care. I am also an herbalist and nutritionist.

I am a child-led caregiver, inspired by 9 years in Montessori. I believe in respecting a child's needs, feelings, and boundaries. I honor consent while providing the support, guidance, nurturing, and safety that the child requires.

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.
