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 prioritize safety, clear communication, and following family routines. My academic and clinical background allow me to provide attentive, developmentally appropriate care tailored to each child’s needs. My experience in school clinicals with children and young adults with ASD allows me to make learning fun and easy!

I am well-equipped to assist with homework, particularly in areas such as spelling, reading, English, and essay writing. I possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills, consistently being friendly and patient with children, as well as honest and trustworthy with parents and other caregivers. I have my own car and can do simple snack/meal prep. I am great with pets of all kinds and have extensive experience working with a wide range of animals, from fur to feathers to scales, and more!
