Find local child care providers in Marrero, LA

I love children and have been babysitting since I was 13 years old -- which is over 40 years of experience!  I am a former English teacher and have master's degrees in education and fine arts.  I worked at one point as a full-time nanny, but for 18 years (2003-2021), I was an editor at the LSU School of Medicine.  However, I always enjoyed childcare as a way to counterbalance the dry, technical work I did all day and frequently babysat on evenings and weekends while working there. I even had two long-term part-time nannying jobs while at LSU.  Now that I have left LSU, I have returned my full-time efforts to childcare. I don't mind sitting for families who need occasional help here and there, but I most enjoy working for people who need someone on a regular basis as it gives me a chance to know the family and bond with the kids. I have also babysat for a number of families who are visiting New Orleans and take pride in making both parents and kids feel comfortable so that they can really enjoy this wonderful city. In fact, there are a number of out-of-town families who book me every time they visit the city, which I consider a high compliment, and it's wonderful to be able to see the kids grow over time. I have cared for children in a variety of situations -- from one child to 6+, from newborns through pre-teens, from occasional jobs to regular jobs.  As a former teacher, I know a fair amount about child development and can also help older children with homework -- particularly anything to do with English (writing, grammar, reading skills).  I have a passing acquaintance with French (used to be nearly fluent, but I never have the opportunity to use it, so I lost most of my ability), and I used to play the piano.  I have also taken CPR training several times (though I don't have current certification).  I drive a reliable and fully insured vehicle and have an excellent driving record.  I enjoy most pets and have no allergies.  I am older than the average babysitter, which makes me far more experienced and responsible, and I am intelligent and educated as well.  In addition, for local families who are looking for a regular babysitter/nanny, I have the advantage of living in New Orleans permanently; unlike college students, I don't move away during the summers or at the end of a few years. Finally, I am fully vaccinated and boosted. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and help to care for your children!

Hi, my name is Bola! I have loved children from a very young age. My mum owned a daycare facility throughout most of my life and I would always assist her in the day-to-day operations of children aged infants to preteens. This upbringing sparked my interest in the overall health and development of children. I am a recent medical grad, planning to devote my life to the wellbeing of others. I am a fan of all things purple, giraffe lover and chocolate fanatic! I look forward to caring for your child and providing you with peace of mind that money can’t buy.

Hi I am a 2015 graduate of St. Scholastica Academy in Covington, Louisiana, however I am a second year medical student at LSU New Orleans. I want to be a Family Medicine doctor and absolutely love kids! I am very creative, like to read, and especially love to cook and bake! I love volunteering in my community, so I have a great deal of experience working with all different personalities. After graduating from Providence College I was a 5th grade teacher in Montana and learned about Montessori education and the integration of daily responsibilities into the life a child with joy. I am very active, and would enjoy spending time outside or on adventures with the kids. I am open to earlier but especially late hours and am flexible because I watch my lectures after they have been recorded online. I have a lot of experience with small children, especially infants and toddlers. Please consider me and let me know if you ever need a babysitter because I would love to help you out!

Hi my name is Melissa. For the past eight months I've been working as a direct support specialist and a camp counselor at Ramapo for Children in Rhinebeck, NY. But I have decided that I needed a change of pace and direction. Due to my new position as a direct support specialist, I feel as though I haven't had enough time to connect with the kids I work with anymore and the demand of the job and lack of quality has become a burden to me..

I am originally from Maryland and graduated from UMD, I moved to New Orleans post graduation to be a service corps volunteer for a year-long program. I loved the city so much I decided to stick around after my program ended, and continued working at the nonprofit I had been a service member at! I have been babysitting regularly since I was 13, and have been babysitting through Sittercity now for over 5+ years. Through Sittercity, I’ve babysat all types of families and children, ranging from newborns all the way up to middle schoolers. While living in Maryland, I nannied two families (both with elementary school aged children), spent 4 summers volunteering at my temple's pre-school with 2-5 year old children, and worked as a lifeguard for 2 summers where I was responsible for watching over many children. Since being in New Orleans, I have babysat mostly through Sittercity, for families all across the city and even for families coming from out of town who needed a sitter for the weekend. I really love working with kids and getting to see their imaginations explore! Currently, I am working during the week but am free most late afternoons, nights and weekends. I am also usually available last minute, and have a car so I can drive to wherever you are. I also have a dog at home and am comfortable with all animals. I am always happy to provide references, meet beforehand, or be interviewed through phone or in person. Message me if you think I would be a good fit for your family!

My background in caring for infants, toddlers, and youth started when I went on my first mission trip to a children's home in Reynosa, Mexico. Since then I have been working for the past decade to increase my knowledge and skills in child development and pediatric mental health. I'm looking forward to finding the next family that i'll be working with. It's important that we both feel we're the right match for one another, so i appreciate you taking the time to read through my bio. I hope we connect soon.

Looking for a compassionate and dedicated nanny/babysitter with extensive experience and impeccable credentials? Well, here I am! I’m highly skilled in caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I’m experienced in bathing, feeding (including bottle feeding), dressing, changing diapers (including cloth), naps, homework, meal prep, general house work, transportation, etc. I was a nanny from 2003 – 2014. I took a break, went back to school, got a degree in Marketing, worked my way up to a Marketing Manager position, and realized it just wasn’t for me. I decided to quit my stressful/toxic job and steer my career back onto the caregiving path. For the past few years I worked as a full time nanny for two young angels and a part time doula. I have doula experience in both birth and postpartum. Helping families is where my passion truly lies. Children are such wonderful creatures! Each has a different energy and personality. Recognizing the diversity in each child and understanding how to reach them are talents I naturally possess. Assisting in positive guidance and development is such a rewarding job and it would be my pleasure to bring this to you and your family.
