A little bit about me

Hello my name is Cienna. I just moved here from New Mexico where I taught dance to children of all ages. I have been babysitting and nannying for the past 6 years. We adopted my little brother when I was 15 years old and I took care of him from ages 1-6. I was a nanny to a 2 year old girl for a year. I would take her to daycare, pick her up, make her dinner, get her ready for bed, and put her to bed a few times a week. Needless to say I have years of experience with children. I love children and watching them grow into amazing people. I am flexible with my hours and willing to travel with the family if needed.

A little bit about me

Hi my names Alyson! Ive been working in and out of childcare for about 8 years although I have been the family babysitter for a lot longer. I have a younger sister who had difficulties at birth that required her to have a feeding tube in her nose as well as a g tube in her belly for the first few years. Due to that I gained a lot of hands on experience with special needs as well as special diets. I love working with kids and hope to maybe be an elementary school teacher one day! I hope to get to know you more if you have any questions feel free to ask!

A little bit about me

Hi my name is Zaharia and I am a sophomore at THE Xavier University of Louisiana. I am a Sociology major minoring in chemistry with the plan of becoming a family doctor. As a kid I always dreamed of being a doctor, a pediatrician to be specific, due to my natural passion of helping others. I wanted to be a pediatrician because of my love for children and honestly because it was the only form of a doctor I came into contact with during that time. I now want to be a family doctor because not only will I be able to work with children, but their parents and elders as well. Positive healthcare change not only starts with the upcoming generations, but the generations that are living now. I am 19 years young with about two years of professional child care and five years of child care overall. I also have the work experience of being a Chick-fil-a team-member for three years and this past summer as a server. I have my own reliable and safe transportation that is fully insured for safe travels.

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.
