A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Hannah, I just moved to Ruston, LA recently from southern Arkansas. I am a college graduate with a surgical technology degree as of 2019. I’m excitedly expecting my first child in January 2024, unfortunately finding work while pregnant is very difficult. The most understanding people to understand my situation would be parents of those that have children as well. I have experience from newborn to 10 years of age including personal and paid, I can easily prove professional and personal references as well. I have a VERY flexible schedule and able to attend any hour amount or time of day as needed. I love pets as well no matter the size, your fur babies will also be taken care of just as equally!

A little bit about me

Nurturing young minds is a true passion of mine. With five years of experience caring for children aged newborn to 11, I've developed a patient and friendly approach that kids respond to. My previous babysitting experiences solidified my desire to support families by providing reliable care. I am comfortable caring for up to three children at a time. I hold a college degree and maintain current certifications in CPR and First Aid. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. I prioritize open communication with parents, using verbal updates at pickup and always respecting your preferred method. I'm also very comfortable enforcing household rules. Being able to help children thrive brings me immense joy, and I hope to bring that same care and enthusiasm to your family.

Recent reference

"Hannah was a nanny for our son just prior to him starting daycare. She helped our family tremendously at a very crucial time. She is highly intelligent and adaptable, very punctual, very pleasant and caring towards children, and an excellent communicator. Our son was constantly giggling and having fun in her care. Her knowledge and experience in child care was apparent from the start and it was instrumental in our son's development. But more than anything, she was extremely reliable, which was exactly what we needed. If you are looking for a true child care professional who connects extremely well with children and ensures that they have fun while learning and developing, cares for them as if they are her own, communicates very effectively with parents, and provides unbelievable reliability/dependability, Hannah will be an excellent choice for your family."

A little bit about me

Hello! My last job working with kids as a teacher's assistant was a demanding yet super rewarding experience. I hope to have had the same impact on those kids as they did on me. I've loved working with kids since my first job in high school as a childcare provider at one of my hometown's local churches. Some of my other interests include skateboarding, yoga, cooking, gardening, photography, and reading. I'd love to share my hobbies with your kiddos if they show interest!
I've recently resigned from college temporarily for various reasons, therefore I'm available almost whenever you need me! I'd love to work with kids again, thank you for considering me!

How to Find a Babysitter in Ruston, LA

Nanny Lane is a child care website meant to help you find a babysitter in your area. Our child care services include background checks, PLUS, and payroll.

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Ruston, 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 Ruston can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Ruston 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.
