A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Genesis Foster and I’d love to be your go-to babysitter! 🌸

I’m a 19-year-old junior in college majoring in Computer Science, and I’ve been caring for children practically my whole life. As the oldest of six siblings, I grew up helping raise my brothers and sisters , so caring for little ones feels like second nature to me. 🥰 Coming from a big family without a lot of financial resources taught me early on how to be patient, responsible, creative, and calm under pressure.

I graduated high school early, and I’m known for being ambitious, level-headed, and dependable. I genuinely love kids and every child’s innocence is something sacred that should be protected, nurtured, and celebrated. 🙌🏾 Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing snacks, playing games, or bedtime routines, I aim to create a safe, positive, and joyful environment for your child. 🌈

If you’re looking for a sitter who’s mature, motivated, and truly passionate about kids -I’m your girl ❤️

Hi! My name is Allie Cox. I’m 27 years old and currently a dental hygienist. My husband, Hunter and I recently moved to Baton Rouge this summer for him to continue CRNA school.

My husband and I love being outdoors playing golf or tennis. We like to stay active and work out regularly.

I have work experience as a lifeguard at my local country club in the summers during high school and college. Taught swimming lessons for a couple of years during that time.
I am willing to get certified for any lifesaving qualifications required if I am not already certified.

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

Baton Rouge 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.
