A little bit about me

I am originally from New Orleans I am 29 years old. I went to Loyola University of New Orleans for theater and psychology. I moved to Texas five years ago with my husband. We recently moved back to New Orleans because of his job. I am a Baptist, but I feel that in this field religion to not be talked about unless approved by the parents. I am a certified phlebotomist. I have medical experience that is over five years I’ve worked with special-needs adults ranging from 30 to 60 years old. I worked with children from newborns to 18 years old. I enjoyed teaching calligraphy, history, science, art theater, and psychology on emotional intelligence. I personally grew up having dyslexia, so I am also trained in learning disabilities and patient when it comes to teaching students who have learning disabilities. I am always looking to grow and learn myself because there’s always more ways you can teach others, as well as others can teach you. I enjoy going to the park, museums, and the zoo.

A little bit about me

My name is Nancy W. I am a retired
RN 30+years experience. I am the mother of 5, one pregnancy yielded twins. I was very involved in the lives of my children. I had them in Montessori education and I both worked at the school and volunteered when needed. I was a nurturing mother. I have a calm,loving manner around children. I enjoy being around children. I try to be sensitive their needs and adapt to ensure the child continues to feel secure and is allowed to grow and learn. I did homeschool (1.5 years) one of my boys who was overwhelmed by a new school. He announced himself ready to go to school after that time. My experiences with my children led me to have confidence in my abilities. I have worked in pediatrics with both well babies in clinics and in specialty areas in hospitals. I have resuscitated infants and handled life threatening moments with toddlers. I have been involved with babysitting other children and adolescents my entire life. I look forward to an interview!

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.
