A little bit about me

I love to explore the world with the children I care for. This means asking silly questions and creating silly answers (and finding out the "real" ones). It means lifting up rocks to see the beetles and worms underneath. It means dancing through the house to a song we create. It means having fun while we both learn something new.

I have been in childcare since my late teens, and have over 10 years experience as a nanny. I became a certified Birth Doula in 2016 and have since become an expert in infant care. I am also an herbalist and nutritionist.

I am a child-led caregiver, inspired by 9 years in Montessori. I believe in respecting a child's needs, feelings, and boundaries. I honor consent while providing the support, guidance, nurturing, and safety that the child requires.

A little bit about me

I’m a caring and dependable childcare professional with years of experience working with children. My dad served as the Vice President of the YMCA for over 15 years, which gave me the opportunity to grow up around childcare and youth programs and gain hands-on experience from an early age. I also worked as a preschool teacher in Lubbock, Texas, and I currently work as a preschool teacher in New Orleans.

I’m also pursuing my Master’s in Social Work because I’m passionate about mental health, child development, and supporting children emotionally as they grow. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, heard, encouraged, and understood. My experience in the classroom has taught me patience, communication, structure, and how to meet children where they are developmentally.

I would love the opportunity to provide your child with a safe, nurturing, fun, and supportive environment while giving parents peace of mind.

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.
