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.

Hello! My name is Grayson, and I am a dependable, caring, and patient nanny with a genuine love for working with children. I am currently pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education, and my long-term goal is to teach young learners between kindergarten and second grade. Because of this, I naturally bring a learning-focused and nurturing approach into my caregiving style. I have hands-on experience working with children in classroom settings, as a camp counselor, and as a high school aide, which has helped me develop strong skills in communication, organization, and behavior support. I understand that every child learns and grows at their own pace, and I strive to create a safe, structured, and encouraging environment where children feel confident and supported. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities that promote creativity, early literacy, and social development, such as arts and crafts, outdoor play, reading time, and simple educational games. I am also dependable, attentive, and great at building trusting relationships with both children and parents. My goal as a nanny is to not only provide excellent care but to positively impact each child’s growth, confidence, and happiness.
