A little bit about me

Currently I am working at BRCC as a college Instructor. I am a mother of 2 and I a stepmother of four all of which are adults with children of their own now. I’ve worked in daycares in my twenties. I love the littles. I have the patience for the little children bring me joy. I’d rather hang out with them than grownups. I’ve always gravitated towards babies since I was a child. They are the best. I am CPR, AED and First Aid certified. In addition, I am Fire Fighter, HAZMAT and Emergency responder trained through my last career. I believe children need consistency and to be treated like a little human. Because kids are people too.

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Amanda, but everyone calls me Mandi. I have 5 children between the ages of 4 and 23. I love children and always knew I wanted to work with them. When I was in my early 20’s I got a degree in early childhood education. I worked in several daycares but realized that really wasn’t for me. I get too attached to the kids and I just prefer a more personal relationship. Since then I have done babysitting for a lot of families, but I was a nanny to two young children at separate times from newborn age until they started school. I really enjoyed my work. We loved arts and crafts, going on outings, reading books amongst other things. I enjoy what I do and love helping the little ones learn and grow. I also have experience with special needs children (specifically autism, sensory processing disorder and adhd). I have no problem bringing the children to doctors appointments, therapy, dance, football, etc. Im also available to do light housework, meal prep, laundry, cooking etc.

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.
