A little bit about me

Hello!! My name is Kaylee Knaack, and I’m a college student at Tulane University, where I’m also a member of the cheerleading team. With this being said, I am available mostly in the evenings and Sundays during the week. I’ve always had a strong passion for working with kids, and my experiences reflect that. I spent four years as a junior cheerleading coach, helping younger athletes build skills and confidence in a supportive environment. For the past three years, I’ve also worked as a lifeguard, and I’m certified in both CPR and First Aid.

These roles have taught me responsibility, patience, and how to stay calm in high-pressure situations—skills that are essential when caring for children. All of this connects back to my long-term goal of going into pediatrics. I truly enjoy creating safe, fun, and engaging environments for kids, and I’m excited to continue gaining experience in childcare along the way

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Samaria, and I'm currently a college student studying public health from Maryland. I have 4 years of experience working at a daycare/early learning center as a teacher's aide, where I supported lead teachers and cared for children ages 6 months to 5 years old. I especially enjoy working with babies and younger children because I'm around them so much, but I love seeing children's personalities develop at different stages. My experience has helped me build strong patience and communication skills and create a safe, nurturing environment. I'm responsible, attentive, and reliable, and I understand how important trust and consistency are for both children and families. I look forward to providing dependable, caring support and helping families feel comfortable while their children are in my care.

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.
