A little bit about me

Hi everyone! My name is Kennedy. I am from Mandeville, LA, but I currently go to UL Lafayette. Through high school, I kept the same two jobs, one being a babysitter. I babysat the same precious boy from the time he was 6mths to now (occasionally). It has definitely been a great experience and now that I currently reside in Lafayette, I work weekend and wouldn’t mind caring for another child! I do have a little with the Big Sister program as well as caring for my siblings’ children if they want a date night.. pretty much sums up my experience with children! Feel free to ask any questions or address any concerns. I am extremely flexible with time and pay!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Jamiya Mitchell, and I'm a recent graduate from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette with a degree in Biology (Pre-Med) and a minor in Psychology. Originally from New Orleans and now living in the Lafayette area, I’ve always had a deep love for children and caring for others.
Growing up in a big family, I was often the go-to babysitter and spent a lot of time around babies and young kids. Those early experiences sparked a lifelong passion for childcare, and I’ve continued to build on that with a strong academic background in child development and psychology.
I’m responsible, nurturing, and genuinely enjoy helping kids learn, grow, and feel safe. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning fun activities, or simply providing a loving and structured environment, I always aim to bring warmth and reliability into every home I work with.

A little bit about me

My name is Jamiyah Diggs I am originally from Plaquemine La. I moved to Prairieville La in middle school and graduated from St. Amant High School in 2023. I am currently a LSU student majoring in Construction Management. I help with small cleaning tasks such as washing dishes, sweeping floors, and folding clothes to keep spaces neat and comfortable. I’m also very animal friendly and get along well with all kinds of pets. In addition, I have extensive babysitting experience—being the oldest of 13 siblings, all under the age of 15, has given me a lifetime of hands-on childcare practice. I’m used to managing different personalities and needs, staying patient, and keeping things running smoothly in busy environments.

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

Lafayette 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.
