A little bit about me

Hi there! A little about me.. I have been working as a nanny since I was 14. I’ve watched many kids over the years. Whether it be in a daycare/early childhood education center or in public schools and in homes, I have loved working with children! I have experience with special needs children and am entirely willing to care for pets and perform other household chores throughout the day. I am temporarily living in the Fort Polk area for the next 6 months while my husband is working on base installing fiber optics. If I sound like a good fit for your family I would love to chat about being your nanny! We plan on being fully moved in around mid May!

A little bit about me

I am compassionate, fun, outgoing and one of my biggest passions in life is being around and/or serving children. I used to babysit years ago, but haven't the past few years due to career paths (other than watching my 1.5 y/o niece at times). In college I created an non-profit organization that served special needs children through arts and crafts which was more fulfilling than words can describe. I recently moved to Fort Polk due to the military and would love to start up babysitting/nannying again.

I am creative and have lots of energy to keep your children entertained whether it's being active outside or playing games, doing art, reading, etc. inside. If they are in school, I'd love to help them with their school work or even tutor if needed. I love cleaning/ organizing so I'd be happy to help with that as well.

I am starting off part-time as I plan on also volunteering in the local area, however, if I seem to connect with a family well, I am open to being a full-time nanny!

A little bit about me

Hi! I've been babysitting for about 5 years and I love doing it! It doesn't feel like a job to me and that's why I love it! I started from my little sister, to cousins, to family friends children. I just recently moved to Fort Polk because my husband is stationed here and I'm trying to find a nannying job so I can get us extra income, and just because I love doing it!

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Fort Polk North, 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 Fort Polk North can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Fort Polk North 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.
