A little bit about me

I’m a full time registered line technician (RLT) with experience with kids of all ages. I have worked with children from as young as 4 weeks old to as old as 16 years old. This means I do have experience with autistic children.

I have also 3+ years experience as a toddler teacher. My experience is with ones, twos, and threes; however, apart from working at childcare facilities. I also have nanny experience with infant and grade school age.

I am very good with kids and willing to go above and beyond to help your family. I can help around the house with chores such as laundry, dishes, cooking and just basic cleaning. Along with housekeeping, I love to plan fun activities for the kids, whether it be going to the park or just doing a craft at home.

I am only available on certain days due to working full time. My availability is completely open on Tuesdays and Wednesday. My available hours on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are from any time in the morning, until 3:30 p.m.

Hi I’m currently an MA looking for a nanny job. I do not have any children of my own, but I’ve always enjoyed looking after family and friend’s children. I’m energetic, so I will be able to keep up with the little ones. I’m also creative, so I can keep them busy! I usually have lots of free time. I like to cook, clean, and organize.

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in Lafayette, LA

Before beginning the search for a nanny, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a nanny is the right choice for your child care needs. In hiring a nanny, first, you should think through what responsibilities you expect your nanny to handle. With that information, you can create a profile so that nannies can reach out to you. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. In general, a nanny is responsible for making sure your children’s needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your nanny before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location can impact how much you should pay your nanny.

Lafayette Nanny Interviews

Once you start connecting with prospective nannies, the next step is a nanny interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some nanny interview questions to consider asking:

  • Do you have experience being a nanny?
  • How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?
  • What sort of household tasks are you open to doing?
  • Are you open to a live in arrangement in Lafayette? Do you have experience being a live in nanny?
  • Are you open to being a nanny in a nanny share?
  • Do you have any references?
  • Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in Lafayette?
  • Do you have a driver’s license in LA? Do you own a car?
  • What salary are you seeking? Are you open to being paid through direct-deposit, pay stubs?
  • What are your expectations around over-time pay and vacation time?

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 prospective nanny, it’s essential to make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your nanny. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around nanny responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming! And of course, as you learn how to hire a nanny, Nanny Lane's nanny services are here to help

Daycare vs. Hiring a Nanny

Choosing between putting your child in daycare and hiring a nanny can be a tough decision. While nannies are often more expensive, they provide individualized attention and flexibility. Daycares, on the other hand, prioritize socialization. Our Nanny vs Daycare guide can help you determine what's best for your family.
