Meet college nannies and sitters from Tulane University of Louisiana

Hi! My name is Mollie . I am a rising senior at Tulane University studying Psychology and Early Childhood Education. I am originally from Burlington, Vermont; but I have lived in New Orleans for the past few years. I worked at Bricolage Academy as a student teacher this past summer and last year, as well as, a tutor at Kenner Discovery School in early 2021. Before moving to New Orleans I worked for Very Merry Theatre company producing children's theater and musicals as a counselor and camp director. I am filled with energy and love to play games and have fun. I have quite a list of activities built up over the years for educational and fun purposes. I am a major dog person. Back home I have a scotch collie named Brea and she is quite the fun handful. I am a very clean and organized person but I'm also okay to get things messy, as long as we clean it up at the end. Im excited to get to work and feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Hi! My name is Riley and I am a 29 y/o female from New Orleans looking to help out some families in the area! I have worked with several families in New York doing school pick-up and after school activities, helping out with dinner and and bedtime. I have experience with 3-12 year olds creating a fun environment and finding interactve activities around the city. Most recently I worked as the Art Head for a children's sleep-away camp for 7-13 year olds in Vermont. Before New York I worked in Madrid Spain where I was a 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade teacher. I have also worked as a Personal Assistant in New Orleans where I was in charge of house management (grocery shopping, minor housekeeping, house organization, and pet care). I am happy to work with both cats and dogs and would love to help where I am needed!

Hi! My name is Maddie! I am a sophomore at Tulane University, where I am studying psychology (specifically child psychology) as well as political science. I have lived in Boston my whole life, but my mom is from NOLA so I have spent a lot of time here growing up, and I loved it so much I had to come to school here! I have been officially working with kids since the summer of 2022 where I worked as a counselor at a sleep away camp for seven weeks. I have worked at that camp every summer since, and have acquired many different skills that allow me to work well with children. I have also been babysitting for neighbors and family friends since I was around 13. Since then, I have gotten my lifeguard certification which makes me CPR, AED, and first aid certified for both infants, children, and adults. I am extremely patient, especially when it comes to kids with special needs or preferences. On top of this, I have been raised with pets (dogs and cats) my whole life and am very happy to take care of them too! I have my drivers license and a car with me at school, so I would be able to do pick ups and drop offs if needed.

Hey all. I graduated from Tulane in May 2024, and after a year of traveling and nannying, am back in New Orleans for the forseeable future! I am super passionate about working with kids, and am looking to find awesome families to nanny for when I move back. My schedule is currently very flexible, and I am interested in both full-time and part-time work (occasional babysitting okay too. E.g. date night, sick day). I have my own transport. 
I have extensive experience (8+ years), which includes working with newborns up to age 14, children with special needs (both verbal and nonverbal), multiples (e.g. siblings with large age gaps, twins), tutoring up to grade six, and a specialty in keeping toddlers in check (success varies depending on length of nap- lol). I also create DIY "summer camps" for kids. My most recent endeavor included keeping eight five-year-olds entertained for days at a time (activities, park, pool, crafts, positive engagement). I take a play-based, screen-free approach to nannying and easily adapt my techniques based on parents' specifications and the child's needs. I believe in holding boundaries while also holding space for very real feelings (E.g., "No, we cannot get ice cream, and I know that's sad. It's okay to flop down on the ground, cry, and feel angry. Take your time, I am here.") AED and CPR (infant, child, adult) certified. I have a ton of references, from New Orleans and elsewhere, and can share the most relevant ones with you (based on age, need of child, etc).
