Maddie $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Violet, LA

Hi! My name is Maddie! I am a senior at Tulane University, where I am studying psychology (specifically child psychology) as well as political science. I have lived in Boston my whole life, but my mom is from NOLA so I have spent a lot of time here growing up, and I loved it so much I had to come to school here! I have been officially working with kids since the summer of 2022 where I worked as a counselor at a sleep away camp for seven weeks. I have worked at that camp every summer since, and have acquired many different skills that allow me to work well with children. I have also been babysitting for neighbors and family friends since I was around 13. Since then, I have gotten my lifeguard certification which makes me CPR, AED, and first aid certified for infants, children, and adults. I am extremely patient, especially when it comes to kids with special needs or preferences. On top of this, I have been raised with pets (dogs and cats) my whole life and am very happy to take care of them too! I have my drivers license and a car with me at school, so I would be able to do pick ups and drop offs if needed.

Jovan $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jovan. Here's what you should know about me: I understand what it means to juggle multiple jobs, school and paternal responsibilities. I have experience with children ages 6wks to 18 yrs old. My previous education experience includes being a Paraprofessional/Ast. Teacher, RTI Lab Instructor (response to intervention), working with students that have 504 accommodations, Lead Infant &Toddler Preschool Teacher, and working with my own daughter prior to kindergarten. My most recent position was teaching 4th Grade ELA. In this role, I increased 4th grade Mastery LEAP scores by 6 percentage points. Other experience includes Supervisory, training development and management roles. This means, I'm a creative leader. I work well with kids because in all the seriousness and hustle and bustle, I never lost my imagination. I set standards and I use a holistic approach that will encourage your kids to be good people! All kids can learn and I challenge them to do so! Other things about me are: My name is Jovan and I'm a chocoholic! I love movies! My daughter and I have 80's movie nights. I love reading and learning new things. My friends don't Google, they Jovan! Lol. I'm a first generation college student and I love helping other first gens! I'm extremely close to my family and it's something I value. If selected for your position, I hope to be considered extended family!

Daleasia $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Asia, I'm 19 years old, and I'm a caring, responsible, and dependable babysitter. While I don't have professional paid babysitting experience yet, I have experience caring for children through family and friends and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. I'm currently an online student, which gives me some flexibility with my schedule. I also work in retail part time primarily on Tuesday and Wednesday nights and weekends. Because of my schedule, I'm mainly available during weekday daytime hours, with some additional availability depending on the week. I'm patient, attentive, and happy to help with activities, games, crafts, homework, simple meals, and keeping children safe and entertained. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable leaving their children with someone they trust, and I'll always do my best to provide reliable and thoughtful care. I'm happy to answer any questions and provide more information about myself!

Cate 3 reviews
$15 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Violet, 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.”
