Meet Esther

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

Hello! My name is Esther and I would love to be your babysitter! I work as a Community Organizer but am looking for some pet time work. I used to teach 2nd grade in the Greater New Orleans area. This means I could help your children with their homework! In the past, I have been a camp counselor who was first aid and CPR certified. I have been babysitting on and off for friends and others since I was 15 years old. I love working with children who are elementary aged, or almost ready to be in elementary school (ages 4-12). I am very comfortable working with these age groups, as these were the age groups that attended the camp I worked at. I look forward to hearing from and working with you!

My husband and I are very picking when it comes to who can watch our children. I have not one complaint about Esther. My children like her and are happy when we leave. I have used her a couple of times and look forward to continuing. She is a teacher and understands children. She is also not the type to just say everything was fine when you get home and it really wasn't. My kids are in bed and asleep when they should be and she follows the children's rules even when the parents aren't home. She is usually available and punctual. We love to use her! If she could have been our nanny we would have chosen her for that as well.

Esther recently watched our 2 year old son for two evenings while we were visiting New Orleans for a wedding. Our entire experience with Esther was fantastic... from the prompt replies before arrival to town, to arriving early, to genuine happy attitude. She was friendly to us & to our son. He took to her very quickly. I would highly recommend her services! Esther, thank you for making our trip to NOLA less stressful!!!
