A little bit about me

Since I was a child, I have always taken care of the children in my family. My preteen and teenage years were full of babysitting my brothers and cousins and I loved every minute of it. Having my own children was not in the cards for me, but as an adult, I was a live in nanny for a short time, I used to help my parents in their at home daycare and I recently moved back to New Orleans when my cousin had her baby so I could be close and help out. I genuinely love caring for children and spend a lot of my free time with my cousins’ children ages 1 to 16.

A little bit about me

My name is Bailey and I’m 23 years old. I recently graduated from Louisiana State University with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. I grew up with 2 older brothers and extremely loving parents. I’ve had dogs my whole life and consider them family members as well. I think what sets me apart is my ability to easily adapt and bond. I adore kids and hope to have a family of my own one day. I’ve been babysitting for as long as I can remember, but in the recent years I’ve taken more of a nanny role. I’m currently a nanny for 4 children in my hometown. I’d also like to add how huge of an opportunity this would be for me. It has always been a dream of mine to move to Aspen. I’d be sure to utilize everything it has to offer, especially the outdoors, and be more than happy to bring your children along. Thank you so much for considering my application. Also please let me know if you’d like references, I’d be more than happy to send them over.

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.
