Anne $25 per hour for 1 child
Hello everyone! My name is Anne, and I’m a teacher at a French immersion school in Uptown and also a mom. I absolutely love working with kids and truly enjoy their energy, curiosity, and fun personalities. My oldest child is currently majoring in architecture, which has been such a proud and exciting journey for our family. I’m caring, patient, and always focused on making children feel safe, supported, and happy. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones! I am happy to work with family with cats.
Alejandra $18 per hour for 1 child
Hi families! 🤍 My name is Alejandra, and I’m originally from Puerto Rico! I’m currently a sophomore at Loyola University New Orleans, majoring in Public Health on the pre-med track. Working with children has always been something I genuinely love! My mom is a teacher, so I grew up surrounded by education and developed a passion for helping children learn, grow, and feel supported. I have several years of babysitting experience, worked as a summer camp counselor for three summers, and have also provided tutoring and homework assistance. I’m fluent in both English and Spanish, and I love incorporating creativity, learning, and fun into the time I spend with kids! Whether it’s arts and crafts, outdoor activities, helping with homework, preparing meals, or bedtime routines, I always do my best to make children feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I’d describe myself as patient, nurturing, responsible, and dependable. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your little ones in someone else’s care, and that’s something I never take lightly. I believe that good communication, consistency, and respecting each family’s routines are just as important as making sure the kids have a great time! I’m primarily available for date nights, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to discuss both hourly and flat rates depending on your family’s needs. My goal is simple: to make your life a little easier while giving your children the attention, kindness, and care they deserve. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family! 🤍
Jacey $14 per hour for 1 child
Hello there! My name is Jacey and I am a New Orleans native! I am currently a sophomore at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette majoring in nursing. I was first introduced to babysitting at 14 years old helping out my family members and I fell I love with it! I started to babysit cousins, nieces and nephews when they were infants, and it was a joy watching them grow up in front of my eyes. I’ve also have experience in house sitting, as well as house cleaning (washing dishes, doing laundry, etc.) I can cook as well. I have also worked with CrossRoads LA and have experience in caring and supervising senior citizens during the day.

Booked by 1 family in Harvey, LA
I am an experienced pet sitter and house sitter living in the Seventh Ward of New Orleans. I primarily take care of dogs and cats, but I have also cared for guinea pigs, rabbits, and one very large Vietnamese pot belly pig. I am available for walks if nearby, but I primarily do overnights and stay with the animals in their own home while their people are away for work or vacation. I also take care of looking after the household while you are out of town.
“Katie is an absolute gem of a pet sitter! She recently cared for our two Pomeranians, Loki and Watson, and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, healthy, and loved while we were away. From the moment we met Katie, her warmth and genuine love for animals were immediately clear. She took the time to understand their routines, quirks, and personalities, which put us completely at ease. Loki and Watson can be a bit high-maintenance, but Katie handled them like a pro. She sent us regular updates with photos and videos, and it was so comforting to see how happy and relaxed they were in her care. It’s clear she treated them like her own pets. When we returned, they were calm, content, and even better behaved—Katie’s care and attention made all the difference. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your pets as much as you do, Katie is the one. Her reliability, kindness, and professionalism deserve more than five stars! We’ll definitely be booking her again!”
Maddie $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Harvey, LA
Hi! My name is Maddie! I am a senior 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 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.
