Cate 3 reviews
New Orleans
$15 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Ama, LA

Hi! My name is Cate, and I am currently in my first year of law school. I’ve been babysitting, tutoring, and working as a camp counselor for over ten years. I babysat regularly during college in Baton Rouge and wanted to continue babysitting while I am in New Orleans. I love working with children, so please consider me for your next babysitting job!

We are from out of town, and needed a babysitter for one evening when we attended an adults-only event. Cate was perfect! She did a video call with us so we could get to know her. She gave us her cell phone number so we could keep in touch with her and confirm the babysitting job in the days leading up to it. She arrived on time, and was gracious and lovely with my 9yo son. While we were gone, she ordered a pizza for the two of them, and sent occasional photos of my son so I could see how he was doing. My son had a great time with her. And Cate also made it super convenient by accepting payment via Venmo. We recommend Cate completely.

Maddie New Orleans
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Maddie and I am a student at Tulane. I have been babysitting children from ages 3+ over the past 6 years and am open to sitting for all ages. I am very responsible and make sure to follow parents’ orders very closely while ensuring the kids are having the best time possible. Some of my applicable strengths are cooking/baking, doing craft projects, and helping with homework/tutoring. Additionally, I have grown up with many pets my entire life and love animals. I am willing to sit any type of pet!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"

"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
