A little bit about me

I’m a mother of a 2 year old and one on the way. I have taken care of my friends kids on occasion and stayed over nights before. I’m interested in going into more of a nanny role and being around children more so that I can not only help another family but possibly bring my own son around more kids to socialize him before going into school in the years to come.

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m 27 years old and recently married. I enjoy doing crafts and going to fun places! A few of my favorite hobbies are reading a good book, listening to dramatized stories and of course music and singing. I am actively involved with my church which has presented me with opportunities to teach Sunday School and volunteer at our church school as a teacher’s assistant. I started an official babysitting job at 15 years old. Over my 10+ years of babysitting I’ve gained so much experience with little ones and making lasting relationships. I enjoy working with kids and am fully well-rounded with the good and sometimes rough times lol. I’ve worked as a teacher for a local Mother’s Day Out program(3+years). Throughout the years I’ve worked with multiple ages. I am CPR/First Aid certified. I am looking for a full-time nanny position. A family that I can grow with together. I do have multiple references and definitely willing to do a background check.😁

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.
