A little bit about me

I’m 20 and I’ve grown up helping with children all my life. I play sports as well as do a little music so I’d love to play and teach your kids something new everyday. I draw as well so art work will always be on display!! I’m a quick learner so I am willing to learn from any family that allows me into their home to interact with their amazing children.

A little bit about me

My name is Gaywynn, my families call me Gigi. I have decades of experience in caring for and nurturing children. I am a trained Life Coach with a focus on family dynamics and a Reiki Master.
The most important phase of development is between birth and 3 years. I find working with first child families particularly rewarding. I remember raising my own three, that it can be overwhelming at times but I'd do it all over again. Now grown, my children are my best friends. All ages are magical though.
I spend more time on the floor with children, interaction and stimulation are vital for development. I sing a lot, talk a lot and marvel at each milestone. I love children and animals and tend to become an integral part of the family unit. One of my families coined me a modern-day Mary Poppins.
Dependable, trustworthy, loving. I have maintained close connections with my former families and am happy to offer references.

A little bit about me

I am originally from New Orleans I am 29 years old. I went to Loyola University of New Orleans for theater and psychology. I moved to Texas five years ago with my husband. We recently moved back to New Orleans because of his job. I am a Baptist, but I feel that in this field religion to not be talked about unless approved by the parents. I am a certified phlebotomist. I have medical experience that is over five years I’ve worked with special-needs adults ranging from 30 to 60 years old. I worked with children from newborns to 18 years old. I enjoyed teaching calligraphy, history, science, art theater, and psychology on emotional intelligence. I personally grew up having dyslexia, so I am also trained in learning disabilities and patient when it comes to teaching students who have learning disabilities. I am always looking to grow and learn myself because there’s always more ways you can teach others, as well as others can teach you. I enjoy going to the park, museums, and the zoo.

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in New Orleans, 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.

New Orleans 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 New Orleans? 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 New Orleans?
  • 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.
