A little bit about me

hi, I'm Maira! I go to Loyola and I'm majoring in mass comm/ PR. I love kids and wouldn't mind babysitting or doing work around the house. I used to be a lifeguard so I am CPR certified and I used to teach swim lessons so I get along with kids really well. I am a college student so I do have classes but I am free most afternoons. I also get covid tested regularly at school :)

A little bit about me

Hello!
I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology with several years of professional experience working with children in both educational and behavioral settings. I've had the opportunity to support children with different personalities, learning styles, and individual needs. Those experiences strengthened my patience, creativity, and ability to build positive relationships with children while helping them learn and grow. Caring for children is something I truly enjoy because every day is an opportunity to make a positive impact. I love creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children feel comfortable being themselves.

A little bit about me

I’ve been working in childcare at a local Catholic school’s early childhood center for the past five years as both a lead and assistant teacher, which has allowed me to gain extensive experience in early childhood development. Through this, I’ve developed a true passion for working with children. I’m also a mom to a 5-year-old daughter, which has deepened that love even more. As I prepare to enter nursing school, I’m currently looking for a part-time opportunity that fits this next chapter of my life.

🌟 Available Nanny – Loving, Experienced & Trustworthy 🌟

Hello families! My name is Lena, and I’m looking for a new nanny position. 💛

👶 I have over 4 years of experience caring for children:
• I cared for a baby from 3 months old to 11 months old.
• I also cared for triplets from the time they came home from the hospital until they were 1 year and 5 months old.

✨ I’m very loving, patient, careful, and responsible, and I always make sure children are safe, happy, and well cared for.
📜 I have recommendation letters from my previous families, and I currently care for an American child occasionally.

The family I worked with recently moved to another city, so I’m now available.
📲 My native language is Portuguese, and I communicate using a translator app, but communication is always clear and easy.

If you’re looking for a reliable nanny with experience and excellent references, I’d love to connect and schedule an interview! 💛

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.
