Hi, I’m an online college student and a dependable, caring babysitter with experience caring for kids of all ages. I’ve also interned at a summer camp.

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.
Hello everyone! My name is Anne, and I’m a teacher at a French immersion school in Uptown and also a mom. I absolutely love working with kids and truly enjoy their energy, curiosity, and fun personalities.

I’m caring, patient, and always focused on making children feel safe, supported, and happy. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones! I am happy to work with family with cats.
