Meet Lindsay

Originally from the Boston area, I have worked with children in formal and informal settings for 15 years, since 2004. I have been a nanny, teacher, assistant teacher, babysitter, curriculum consultant, activity planner, camp organizer and counselor, and everything in between! I´ve even coached ice skating and just opened a roller skating school in New Orleans! Having specialized in both early childhood education and working with youth, I am experienced with a range of ages. The youngest child I worked with was 2 weeks old, I have babysat up to age 11, and have worked with developmentally delayed highschoolers (up to age 22). I am experienced caring for twins (infant and school age) and multiples, and have traveled extensively with families I worked for. I genuinely enjoy being able to provide active, creative, fun, educational, (and safe!) activities that foster all aspects of a child's growth and development. I am Massachusetts Preschool Teacher Read more Certified, trained in CPR, First AID, special needs (developmental, emtional, and physical), and have taken care of MANY sick children (one family had me as their emergency contact at their kids' school and another family had me nanny for their 1.5 year old while she was in an almost-full body cast after fracturing her leg!). I´m fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. I recently finished my Master's degree in Latin American Studies from Tulane and am looking for work as an occasional babysitter. It´s always nice to meet new families and to help out in any way that I can. Please don´t hesitate to contact me if you have questions or to set up a time to talk! I look forward to growing with your family :)

We had Lindsay as a caregiver for our 3 yr old girl on a recent visit to Nola. She was accommodating and met us at our hotel in the quarter 2 nights in a row, was fine with late hours, and even brought a special book for bedtime. We will definitely contact her again on our next trip.

She is so fantastic! My kids absolutely loved her! Some people are just meant to mold little minds and she is one of them, she truly cares, she asks questions I wouldn’t think to ask. I would definitely recommend her.

Lindsay has cared for my baby since she was 3 months old, and also sits for both the baby and my toddler. She is always on time, is very responsive and flexible with her time, is fabulous with the kids and a pleasure to have around. She was great with the newborn - very naturally comfortable and nurturing. My toddler really likes her too. I cannot say enough good things about her.
