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

Nannies and babysitters share the same primary responsibility of providing safe and enriching care for your child, but there are a few differences between them. Nannies 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. Babysitters, on the other hand, are typically hired for irregular or occasional work, either full or part-time. If you’re looking for last-minute care for date night, or the occasional few hours after school, a babysitter is a great best option. 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 Brionna, and I am an experienced nanny, babysitter, hairstylist, and caregiver with over 5 years of experience caring for children of all ages. As a mother of four wonderful boys, I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and structured environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I graduated from St. Clair County High School and have spent years helping families with childcare, daily routines, and household support. My experience includes meal preparation, laundry, educational activities, playtime, and maintaining a clean and organized environment for children. In addition to childcare, I also work as a caregiver for the elderly, which has strengthened my patience, compassion, reliability, and ability to provide attentive care to others. I genuinely love working with children and enjoy creating engaging activities that encourage learning, creativity, and positive development. I am dependable, nurturing, and dedicated to treating every child with the same care and attention I give my own. Please note that I am available on weekdays only, as I reserve weekends for time with my children. I look forward to helping your family and providing quality care for your little ones!

Having worked as an education researcher at a STEM boarding school for exceptional high school students, I have had the unique opportunity to work with, advise, and coach students outside the classroom to achieve success, both academically and personally, as we partner together to prepare for college. I leveraged many valuable skills when I transitioned to working with younger children. I enjoy working with children of all ages where I use my skills and their interests to spark a love for learning. Before the pandemic shutdown, primarily lead taught the pre-k class and periodically helping in the 1-2 year old class. I am a creative and enjoy using crafts, interactive imaginative play, movement, and cooking to teach little ones. I believe these types of activities are rich for learning, building social and communication skills, strengthening fine and gross motor skills, increasing confidence as well as fostering community responsibility. I have a Bachelors degree in Behavioral Biology (PreMed) where I have taken courses in child psychology, abnormal psychology, maternal and child health, and child nutrition. I have also completed a Masters degree in Sociology, a fellowship in Education Policy, and successfully completed all certification classes and trainings to work in a licensed daycare in two state.
