Booked by 8 families in Kenner, LA
Hey, I'm Destiny, 28 years young and armed with 4-5 years of experience in the trenches of daycare centers. My most recent adventure was at the Jewish Community Center summer camp (2026). What makes me a great caregiver, you ask? Well, I'm all ears, and I don't mind lending a hand with light housework and pet care. Looking forward to speaking with you soon.
“Destiny was so great with our twin four year olds and had perfect instincts for how to keep them engaged, how to distract them when we were leaving, and how to make them feel safe in a new city with a new caretaker. I would highly recommend her!”

Booked by 1 family in Kenner, 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!”

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.

Daleasia $15 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Asia, I'm 19 years old, and I'm a caring, responsible, and dependable babysitter. While I don't have professional paid babysitting experience yet, I have experience caring for children through family and friends and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. I'm currently an online student, which gives me some flexibility with my schedule. I also work in retail part time primarily on Tuesday and Wednesday nights and weekends. Because of my schedule, I'm mainly available during weekday daytime hours, with some additional availability depending on the week. I'm patient, attentive, and happy to help with activities, games, crafts, homework, simple meals, and keeping children safe and entertained. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable leaving their children with someone they trust, and I'll always do my best to provide reliable and thoughtful care. I'm happy to answer any questions and provide more information about myself!
