Q: What’s the difference between a babysitter and a nanny?

Babysitters and nannies share the same primary responsibility of providing safe and enriching care for your child, but there are a few differences between them. Babysitters are typically hired for occasional work on an irregular schedule. If you’re looking for last-minute care for date night, or the occasional few hours after school, a babysitter is a great option. Nannies, on the other hand, are more commonly associated with regular work, whether full or part-time, offering daily or consistent care to a particular family. There are also several different types of nannies, including au pairs, house managers, doulas, live-in, and overnight nannies. Identifying the type and frequency of child care you’ll need is the best way to decide whether a babysitter or nanny is a better fit for your family.

I am a 53 yr old Grammy of 8. I keep 4 of them after school and some during school breaks. I also have a family I have been with for over 7yrs. I started when the boy was 4 wks old and they now have a new baby I take care of 1 day per week. My mom had a home daycare so I have been taking care of children most of my life. I enjoy getting to know the kids and giving them someone else to love them. I believe children need many different people in their lives who love them and want the best for them. The 7 yr old still tells me he needs me to “rock a bye” him. I love that they are comfortable with me. They beg me to stay longer and I try to go to their school activities. The more people children have them who love them the better off they are and they will feel they always have someone they can talk to. These children have become like extra grandkids to me. I love knowing I have something I can do to help families who need someone to care for their children. I was raised close to my extended family and never had to leave my kids with an outsider and I want those that choose me to keep their children to feel like they have someone they can depend on who loves their children like their own

From a young age I have been a part of a large family. Growing up I always had a lot of younger relatives around to look after. I was passionate about taking care of children from a very young age. I would spend a lot of time helping my godmother with her newborn son when I was 9 years old. I spent years taking care of younger cousins and children in any neighborhood I lived in. As I got older I started to work volunteering with youth such as the summer reading programs at local libraries and at the Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club watching children there for daycare. I love being able to be helpful to a family and allow access to someone who can help give parents the assistance they need with their children and giving the kids someone they can learn from, look up to, and feel safe with.

Hello! My name is Haydee, I love being a caregiver because I enjoy creating a safe, nurturing space where kids feel cared for, loved, and supported. I have the most experience with 0-8 yrs of age, but I am comfortable with all ages and personalities. My goal is to build a secure and happy relationship with the little ones in my care. I'm CPR, BLS, and EMT certified, I have experience with multitasking and fast paced environments. I am currently a Applied Science (AAS) student at TCC, while enrolled in a medical assistant (MA) program. I have reliable transportation and a gentle dependable approach with to caregiving. Because of my school schedule is in the late afternoons to early evenings the best times for me to provide care are overnight/late night or early mornings shifts. I am primarily looking for nannying opportunities but I am happy to accommodate babysitting as well. References are available upon request-- I am very excited to meet your family to see if we are a good fit!
