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.

I love working with children because every day with them is full of energy, curiosity, and creativity. I enjoy helping kids learn new things, explore their interests, and build confidence in a safe and caring environment. I have hands-on experience from working at a daycare, where I cared for children ranging from infants to 7th graders. During that time, I assisted with everything from feeding and diaper changes to organizing educational activities, outdoor play, and homework help. That experience taught me how to adapt to each child’s individual needs and maintain a fun yet structured atmosphere. I take pride in being patient, dependable, and attentive — and I always strive to make sure children feel happy and supported while their parents are away.

Hello! My name is Natalie, I’d first like the start of by talking about the reason I chose this path. Ever since I was younger, I grew up with a big and supportive community. Everyone always told me I was really good with kids and it made me realize that working with kids came very naturally. I adapt to surroundings really well and can click with people and kids easily. I’m studying to be a social worker in the future so I can continue helping children in need and be that support system for them all while helping out the community. I’ve been watching kids since I was 16, of close family friends. I got my first job in childcare when I was 17 at Grace Lutheran Child Learning Center in Sahuarita, AZ. I’m 18 now and I want a job that’s more connecting with children. I’m a person that’s big on bonds and I feel as if I couldn’t have that at Grace. I am CPR certified and Food handler safety certified. I hope to be a great fit for you and your family! Please contact me, Natalie Burgsteiner
