A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Sage, a dependable, patient, and nurturing childcare provider with three years of hands-on experience caring for young children across multiple settings.

I taught Pre-K for one year, focusing on early learning, routines, and social-emotional development. I also spent one year in daycare infant care, where I supported feeding schedules, naps, diapering, and developmental milestones. In addition, I provided 6 months of in-home infant care, offering personalized, one-on-one attention and consistent routines tailored to a family’s needs.

I’m big on creating a calm, engaging environment where kids feel safe, supported, and free to be themselves. I value structure, gentle guidance, and clear communication with parents, and I take trust and safety very seriously.

I’m comfortable with pets (especially dogs 🐶) and aim to support families in a way that truly makes daily life easier while keeping children happy, cared for, and thriving.

A little bit about me

I’m Lexi Lombas, a registered nurse with eight years of experience caring for people of all ages, including children. My background in healthcare has taught me patience, responsibility, and strong communication skills—qualities that translate naturally into childcare. I’ve also worked as a healthcare recruiter and real estate investor, which has strengthened my organization and time-management abilities.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending time outdoors, traveling, and doing creative projects. I’m passionate about helping others and creating a safe, nurturing environment where children can learn and have fun. I value routines, kindness, and open communication with parents to ensure each child’s needs are met.

Overall, I bring a caring, reliable, and attentive approach to every family I work with.

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.
