A little bit about me

I have over 3 years of experience. I can help with Travel and Errands. I am in my third year as a psychology and child development major at LSU. I have over 3 years of experience. I can also help with Travel and Errands. I worked as a camp counselor in New York City for six weeks during the summer of 2022. I served as a local camp counselor in 2019. Additionally, I have three younger brothers, so I have spent most of my life among youngsters. I am also qualified in CPR.
I think kids are the future of the world, thus it's important to love them with all your heart. I've always felt a maternal urge to teach, and it's my sincere desire to have a meaningful impact on each and every one of my kids. My motto is who will care when you aren't there? Me. I care for each and every child as if they were my own.

Hi, my name is Kesala Wheeler I am from two great cities! I was Born in Chicago, moved to Memphis, TN at 14 and now I live in New Orleans (10 years)I am the oldest of 10 children (Mom 6, dad 4).

I am 38 and I am a Master Hairstylist, salon owner of KeSalon Coiffure, Author, and Mentor to young entrepreneurs! I am married (2 years) with no children.

I come from a huge family, I babysat my brother and sisters and when I was younger I use to work at a daycare. My Babysitting experience entails, changing diapers, reading to children, assisting with homework and finding fun activities to do! I am amazing with children, I am extremely trustworthy, I am a safe driver and I have a lot of patience. I also have two great references for you! You and your child will feel safe and be safe with me. That is my commitment to you.

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.
