A little bit about me

I’m Gia (31) and I’ve been a part time nanny in the US and an au pair in France during my college years.
For the last 7.5 years I’ve worked for a trilingual private school in Los Angeles — students there saw me as a big kid; someone to play with, tutor them, or a big sister keeping them safe and happy.
I’m fluent in English and French, I have a lot of Spanish, and I used to nanny for a Dutch family without a language barrier issue (laughter is the same in all languages).
Let me know if you just need a babysitter or something more committed, I will help out where I can.

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Zaria Owusu-Young, I am a Computer Information Systems major at Xavier University of Louisiana. I am a sophomore. I’ve always enjoyed working with children, and I bring patience, responsibility, and a warm personality to every family I work with.

My mom is a reading specialist, so I grew up surrounded by education and early literacy skills. Because of that, I’m very comfortable helping children with reading, homework, and basic tutoring. I love making learning fun and helping kids feel confident, whether it’s with schoolwork or daily routines.

I’m organized, dependable, and good at keeping kids engaged with activities, games, and creative play. I can help with homework, simple meals, routines, and anything that helps your day run more smoothly. My goal is always to create a safe, positive, and supportive environment where children feel cared for and heard.

I would love the chance to bring my energy, patience, and tutoring skills to your family as a nanny.

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.
