A little bit about me

I love working with children. Growing up my mother had a daycare in our home so from an early age I was helping her take care of the kids after school and on summer break. For five in half years I worked as the Infant/Toddler Coordinator at Universal Studios Child Care Center, in Los Angeles, CA. There were 8 infants and 8 toddlers. I'm certified in Early Childhood Education. I was a nanny for three different families (ages ranging from newborn to six years old). In my spare time I love to read, exercise, watch movies, spend time with my fiance, my family, friends and I enjoy working in my garden.

A little bit about me

Hello! I’m a 24-year-old woman with a deep passion for working with children. My love for kids has always been a driving force in my life, and I’ve had the incredible opportunity to combine that with my professional skills as a certified emergency medical technician. This role has provided me with remarkable experiences, allowing me to help others in critical situations.

Additionally, I spent two fulfilling years as a teacher, where I not only shared knowledge but also formed meaningful connections with my students. The joy of watching them learn and grow was gratifying.

My schedule is currently completely open since I’m in between jobs, and I’m enthusiastic about diving back into a role that allows me to work with children again. I am eager to embrace new opportunities and positively impact their lives!

"Cali began babysitting our daughter when she was only 7 weeks old and continued to care for her until she was 18 months old. We moved out of state and were very disappointed to lose her as our babysitter. She immediately built a bond with our daughter and met all of our expectations as a sitter. She was excellent at following all directions given to her and has great communication skills. She was always open to learning anything I wanted to teach her about caring for a baby and always wanted to make sure our daughter was well taken care of. I always felt confident that our daughter was safe in her care and would 110% hire her again if I could! You will love Cali!"

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.
