A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Hannah! I’ve spent the past 15 years caring for children! Aside from two recent part-time nanny jobs, I have worked with children aged 3-13 for the past 9 years as a caregiver in a group home. I love caring for kids through the good, the bad, and the ugly! I’m passionate about education, working on life skills, and fostering creativity and independence! During my time at the group home, I managed the schedules and care of 16 children at one time. I’m highly organized and able to manage a hectic schedule! I’ve led multiple reading and tutoring programs for kids and have extensive experience on the care of children ranging from daily routines to more advanced care (such as burn management, etc). I’d love to bring my own passion, energy, and expertise to your home!

Hello, Families! I am a very honest, easy going and positive person. I have been caring for children for as long as I can remember. I love to cook (culinary background) and do not have any problems doing some light housekeeping (picking up after the children, doing dishes, laundry, etc.). I am excellent at making healthy snacks for children!

I’m a part time virtual school psychologist and realtor in New Orleans. I was a nanny in graduate school for a boy and girl for 4 years. I also was a nanny for 3 girls under 6 (2, 4, and 6 yr olds) for a summer in undergrad. As a school psychologist who used to be in-person in schools, I served students in Pre-k through 12th grade.

A little bit about me

My name is Annee, I’m 30 years old. I am working on a degree in early childhood development and have 4 years experience as a caregiver for all ages, including adults. Before that I worked for a time at a Montessori. Some skills and attributes I would highlight are organization, compassion, patience, reliability, and transparency. I have experience with meal prep (baking and cooking), house work, pool maintenance, gardening, and can pick up on any other necessary skills quite easily.
My ideal job would be a hybrid of household chores and child care.
I haven’t moved to the area yet, but I am laying the ground work to do so, either this summer or next, depending on if I can find the right job for me.

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.
