Lona $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Lona. I'm new to New Orleans but not new to childcare. I babysitted constantly while growing up, for my neighbors, family friends, and two younger sisters. I have my own transportation with a clean driving record; I am Adult and Pediatric (Child and Baby) First Aid/CPR/AED-certified by Red Cross. More about me: I love to cook, visit museums, read, study, and get outside for activities. I have a bachelor's degree in foreign languages and can speak some Spanish and Mandarin. My favorite places to take little ones include the Children's museum, the Audubon Zoo and Aquarium, the park, playground, library, and of course, for walks around the neighborhood. One of my favorite things about spending time with kids is how they help us see everything like it's brand new. My approach with kids is to trust in their intelligence, problem-solve together by asking questions and coming up with "missions" we can embark on together, and be a source of stability, safety and routine for them. I'd love to get to know you more and see if we might be a good fit!

Booked by 1 family in Arabi, 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!”

"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!"
