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!

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Chalmette, 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!”

Amanda $20 per hour for 1 child

I am the eldest daughter in a large family including 5 children, Mom, Grandparents and Great Grandparents! I began baby sitting outside the house as a teenager and continued to work as a Nanny or Au pair through my twenties. In my 30's I began co parenting with my siblings and watching everyone's kids. I am a trained art teacher and have taught art to up to 30 children at a time all through my life. More recently I work as an art teacher for Art Klub and Camp 504. I am a playful, creative, compassionate care taker of all creatures young, old and furry.

Megan $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.
