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.

Caring for children is more than a job to me — it’s something I genuinely love and take pride in. I thrive in environments where I can support not only children, but the entire household, helping parents feel lighter, more supported, and confident that their children are in capable, loving hands. I believe kindness, patience, and positive self-image are foundational to healthy development. My goal is to create a calm, nurturing, and seamless care experience where children feel safe and encouraged, and parents feel reassured and supported beyond just supervision. I enjoy contributing to the flow of a home — whether that means keeping routines running smoothly, helping children feel emotionally secure, or anticipating small needs before they become stressors. I have experience caring for children of all ages, both professionally and personally. I worked in a gym daycare setting supporting multiple children at once, adapting to different personalities, ages, and needs in a fast-paced environment. Additionally, as the oldest of six siblings and close cousins, childcare has been a natural part of my life from a young age — I have extensive hands-on experience with infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and teens, often caring for them independently and without compensation simply because family care is something I value deeply. Safety and preparedness are extremely important to me. I am CPR/BLS and First Aid certified and trained in Emergency Medical Services. I am currently completing community college coursework and will be applying those credits to a medical institute this fall as I pursue nursing. This medical background allows me to remain calm, observant, and confident in both everyday care and unexpected situations. I approach nannying with enthusiasm, responsibility, and genuine care. I don’t just watch children — I support families. My goal is always to make daily life feel smoother, safer, and more joyful for both parents and children

I am a retired registered nurse. I worked mainly in labor and delivery and have many years experience in newborn care. I also worked as a school nurse for elementary and high school students for six years. I have four children of my own who now are grown. I absolutely love being the grandmother of seven beautiful grandchildren. Children have always been a big part of my life. In my spare time I like to garden, play with my little dog, hike and do various forms of art.
