New Orleans
$15 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 8 families in Lafitte, 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!

Hello everyone! My name is Anne, and I’m a teacher at a French immersion school in Uptown and also a mom.

Jacey Gretna
$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.

Megan New Orleans
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Megan. As a caregiver I am fun, attentive, and patient. I treat children with kindness and the utmost respect. I love the outdoors, music, and literature. I am energetic and enjoy playing games and going on outdoor treks and adventures. I love to play guitar, piano, and sing. I know a lot of kids songs, including a few originals. I have a great deal of experience of caring for children, ages 6 months - 11 years old. I have earned 30+ units of early childhood education credits and am CPR and First aid certified. I get an extreme sense of joy spending time with children and seeing them grow into their own unique person. Positive reinforcement and providing opportunities to succeed are, I believe, the key to witness a child thrive. If you give me your email address I can send you my resume. Thank you for your time I look forward to connecting with you.

Alexey New Orleans
$15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Alexey and I am a 25 year old artist living in New Orleans. Caring for children has always been an interest of mine. I taught swim lessons to children back in my home town and I have also volunteered once a year at orphanages in underprivileged countries for the past 5 years. Pets also have a special place in my heart because I come from a family of farmers and grew up on a ranch. I have 2 kitties of my own now! In my grandparents final years I took them to appointments, took care of their home, and loved spending time with them and hearing their stories. I have a lot of free time so if you are in need of a care giver of any kind, at any time- I’m your girl! :)
