Alexey $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! :)

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