A little bit about me

I graduated 2 years ago with honors and a 3.45 GPA. I love arts and crafts and doing hair. I braid hair and do wigs as a side job as well. I love everything that has to do with kids lol coloring, snacking, singing, etc. I also have a 5 year old niece that i have been raising since a newborn and all of her teachers and her mom says she well mannered, super smart and very well spoken. I don't mind noise lol It's the quietness that scares me when I have kids; I also don't mind helping the kids with school and fine motor skills and potty training if needed. Currently not in college or working either so I have open availability!

A little bit about me

Hiya, my name is Sha’Breanna Anderson, but everybody calls me Shay! I’m very outgoing when it comes to children, but just as responsible. The first thing I do when I meet a new child is find out what they like and don’t like; I automatically learn favorites. I recently worked as a teacher for a child care facility while simultaneously working towards my degree in Secondary Education. Most importantly, I have years of experience with potty training and undisciplined children.

A little bit about me

Hi - My name is Arielle and I'm a 2020 graduate of Alcorn State Univeristy. I've been working with kids since I was 15 and love it. I started by watching my aunt’s foster children, and then began working as a party hostess at Party Central Family Fun Center. Over the last few years, I've worked primarily with kids of all ages. While away at school, I cared for my coach’s daughter as well as cared for two sweet boys of two attorneys. If it's nice out, I like to take the kids outside, but due to COVID, I have implemented more home activities! In my free time, I love shopping, eating/ cooking and assisting with cheerleading.

A little bit about me

I’m a warm, dependable, and naturally nurturing person who genuinely enjoys taking care of others and making people feel comfortable and supported. I’m very patient, family-oriented, and emotionally intuitive, which helps me connect easily with children and understand their needs. I create a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where kids can feel secure while still having fun. I’m good at balancing kindness and patience with structure and routines when needed. I enjoy engaging with children through conversation, activities, and everyday moments, and I always try to make them feel heard and cared for.
I’m also adaptable, responsible, and willing to help wherever I’m needed — whether that’s helping with meals, keeping things tidy, assisting with routines, or simply being a reliable and positive presence in the home. I take childcare seriously and would treat any child in my care with the same attentiveness, compassion, and respect I would want for my own family.

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Shreveport, 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 Shreveport can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Shreveport 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.
