A little bit about me

Hi there! I'm Milan Marks, an 18-year-old undergraduate student at UNO. I graduated from Warren Easton High School in May 2025, and I have a deep passion for child development and psychology. I’m pursuing a career in psychology and recently gained valuable experience as a Behavioral Health Intern at EXCELTH Family Health Center, where I developed skills in understanding and supporting mental and emotional well-being.

I’ve always loved working with children, from babysitting family friends and my younger cousins to volunteering in programs that foster mentoring relationships, like the Big Sister Little Sister program. My approach to childcare emphasizes creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment tailored to each child’s needs.

I’m certified in Microsoft Word, Customer Service and Sales, Louisiana Micro-Enterprise Credential.

I’m looking forward to providing exceptional care to your family and creating a positive, memorable experience for your children!

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Cody. I am a transplant from Kansas City! I am currently working on my teaching certificate but have been in Education for over 10 years! I have worked with every age group.

I hold a BA in history and taught in Special Education for 5 years in Missouri. I have held positions as a Case Manager, Teacher, Project Manager, and Office Manager. A very diverse background.

Personally, I am a mother of three boys, all which are pretty much grown. I am looking for a position that will allow me to enjoy and enrich others, while also pursuing my entertainment goals. I am a stand up comedian, so look out for laughs! I also own and operate my own production company. What can I say, I love New Orleans.

In the past, I was a stay at home mom, so I am very versed in all domestic responsibilities, and child rearing. I even homeschooled my three boys for two years! I would love to work with a family and support them on their path as parents. Thank you!

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

New Orleans 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.
