A little bit about me

Hello! I am a friendly and enthusiastic caregiver. I moved to New Orleans from Chicago, but have lived here for 2 years now. For 3+ years I worked at Misericordia Home where I worked with ladies who have Intellectual disabilities and comorbid mental illness. I assisted 12 ladies with activities of daily living, the development of social skills, and their personal goals. For a year, I worked with children who have mental illness at River Oaks Hospital. I attended Loyola University Chicago and completed a BS in Psychology. I have some experience, prior to college, with babysitting children and have younger siblings that are 11 and 13. I would love to see if I am a good fit for your family!

A little bit about me

I have been a nanny/babysitter for many years and love to watch and engage with the kids I watch! Even though I am currently in school going on a different path, working with kids is something that I have always been passionate about. A little more about me - I am originally from Atlanta, GA. I moved to New Orleans about a year ago to pursue law school. I am going into my second year at Tulane Law School, and I have immensely enjoyed getting to know the city of New Orleans.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Alexus and I’ve been nannying professionally for a year now. With an ample amount of experience from teaching and babysitting, I decided to per-sue nannying when i figured out that I enjoyed building relationships and helping families on an intimate level. I’ve completed one full nanny contract for an 8M old little boy, and had the precious privilege of staying with him
for 10 Months and now I occasionally babysit him. I’ve built plenty years-lasting relationships with families and am hoping to find more!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Parker, I’m 22, and I absolutely love working with kids. I’ve been caring for little ones since I was old enough to start working, with experience in childcare centers, private nannying, and even in a Montessori school. I’ve worked with ages ranging from newborns to 11, and I really enjoy adapting to each child’s unique personality and needs. I’m full of energy, creative, and love keeping kids engaged—whether that’s through play, crafts, or exploring new activities together. Caring for kids truly brings me joy, and I always aim to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them to grow in.

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.
