A little bit about me

I am a Nanny and teacher, with experience of 20 years with children and young people. I am studying for a postgraduate degree and I am empathetic and clear in the learning processes adapted to each child. I am Colombian and I can be bilingual. I can take on light cleaning, cooking, and laundry tasks for children and young people. I have references.

I like to know in depth the abilities and needs of each child in the family. I respect the orientation of each parent and I adapt to different family styles. I was interested in making everyday life easier and less stressful for everyone.

Recent reference

"Ana was the nanny for our infant daughter from March to June 2025, and she was absolutely wonderful. She is incredibly attentive, reliable, and caring. She filled our daughter’s days with enriching activities like reading, singing, and play. Ana consistently went above and beyond, introducing a bilingual environment and proactively helping with our daughter’s food and clothes. She was a fantastic resource for us, even recommending books on starting solids. She only left because her husband’s job was transferred, and she was so thoughtful she even helped us find her replacement. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her. We recommend Ana without hesitation!"

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.
