A little bit about me

Hi my name is Melissa. For the past eight months I've been working as a direct support specialist and a camp counselor at Ramapo for Children in Rhinebeck, NY. But I have decided that I needed a change of pace and direction. Due to my new position as a direct support specialist, I feel as though I haven't had enough time to connect with the kids I work with anymore and the demand of the job and lack of quality has become a burden to me. A plus is that I'm learning Spanish, so the kids can learn with me.

A little bit about me

I have been a nanny/babysitter for many years and love to watch and engage with the kids I watch! Even though I am currently in school going on a different path, working with kids is something that I have always been passionate about. A little more about me - I am originally from Atlanta, GA. I moved to New Orleans about a year ago to pursue law school. I am going into my second year at Tulane Law School, and I have immensely enjoyed getting to know the city of New Orleans.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Parker, I’m 22, and I absolutely love working with kids. I’ve been caring for little ones since I was old enough to start working, with experience in childcare centers, private nannying, and even in a Montessori school. I’ve worked with ages ranging from newborns to 11, and I really enjoy adapting to each child’s unique personality and needs. I’m full of energy, creative, and love keeping kids engaged—whether that’s through play, crafts, or exploring new activities together. Caring for kids truly brings me joy, and I always aim to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them to grow in.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Natalie, I come from a large family from a small town with loads of child/home care experience. Not only was I the oldest but caring for my family is what inspired me to take up jobs anywhere I could if it meant I could learn and grow WITH children and help them in any way I could. I do have CPR and First Aid certifications and am available to do any house work or meal planning/prepping needed. I could eventually be open to a live-in nanny opportunity if I could build a strong connection with the family beforehand . I am only looking at part time positions at the moment because i will be attending UNO in hopes of gaining my early education degree to further this passion in caring for and teaching children.

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 you along the way.

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.
