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.

Hi, I’m Anyia, a junior in college with a big love for working with kids! I enjoy being a sitter because I get to help children learn, grow, and have fun while giving parents peace of mind. Spending time with kids is always rewarding, whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, or just being a supportive and caring presence. I have several years of babysitting experience with children of different ages, from toddlers to pre-teens. I’ve also helped out with family and neighbors, so I’m comfortable managing different routines, bedtime schedules, and fun activities that keep kids engaged and happy. Along with experience, I bring patience, responsibility, and strong communication skills. I’m also trained in CPR and minor First Aid, and I know how important safety is while making sure kids are having a good time.

I am an energetic babysitter with a genuine passions for caring for kids. While new to professional babysitting, I have years of experience babysitting my two younger siblings, providing fun activities, and also helping with after-school meals and homework. I am a student-athlete on the track and cross country teams at Arkansas State University and I am also studying elementary education. I am CPR and first-aid certified through Red Cross and truly do love working with kids. I spent this summer working at a summer camp with kids aged 5-11 (I was usually with 5-6 or 7-year-olds) and got lots of experience playing with the kids, making up games, and doing a LOT of crafts. I am also completely fine helping with housework, meals, baking, or anything else (and I am completely fine with pets). I also love baking. I truly do love working with kids and would really love the opportunity to help with baby-sitting or tutoring too if needed!
