Hello Baton Rouge Families! I just moved back to Baton Rouge and am looking to pick-up a few babysitting gigs per week and/or *part-time* nannying jobs Teaching Background: I hold a professional Level I Teaching License in Early Childhood Education (pre-K - Grade 3) in both Louisiana and Tennessee and have taught exclusively in Title I elementary schools while also babysitting on the side. A Little About Me: I am 30 yrs old and grew up in the Garden District in BR, babysitting for many families in the Midcity area while attending Baton Rouge Magnet High School, along with nannying for a few families while attending LSU while earning a music degree. I also part-time taught violin and viola while in college at Parkview Baptist Fine Arts Academy while also performing/music gigging all over South Louisiana for weddings, churches, local orchestras, etc. HOURLY RATE: I charge a flat rate of $25/hr for 1-3 kids -- non-negotiable rate. For 4+ kids, I will negotiate an hourly rate depending on the job specifics. Currently: I am starting my own business over the next couple of months, so I'm just looking to babysit and/or nanny part-time. Feel free to message me if you are looking for a HIGHLY EXPERIENCED babysitter who will engage your kiddos in fun, enriching activities, from arts and crafts to imaginative play (not just plug them in front of an iPad!) Feel free to message me if interested in obtaining my childcare services. I am of course happy to provide childcare references upon request. Thanks, y'all! Best, Olivia M.

Missouri native and LSU marine bio sophomore! I’ve cared for my little sister, infant niece, and overnight with pets with medical requirements. As a summer camp counselor, I’m independent, flexible, reliable, and motivated, and my INFP personality makes me patient and fun with kids and pets alike. If allowed and able, I can definitely help around the house or run errands. Additionally, I am very good with crafts and make for a good tutor. Whatever is needed, I can help! :)

"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."
