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.

Working with children is very meaningful for me and I enjoy supporting them in all their interests and challenges. As a tutor for the last 15 years, I believe that every child has curiosity and imagination which are the ingredients for intelligence and problem solving. During college I oversaw an afterschool activities program for elementary children and learned how to provide a safe environment and listen to children in times of difficulty as well as times of joy. Working for the Parks and Recreation afterschool program furthered my knowledge and experience. I also like to use games and other tools to make learning and accomplishing tasks fun. I realize that children are learning all of the time. For this reason, I always have a calm demeanor and approach every conversation with sincerity and thoughtfulness. I like to plan fun activities that the particular child would enjoy or even just listening to them as they tell me about their day and what their hopes and dreams may be. I think listening is the most important thing a person can do. When we are truly seen and validated, it changes how we view ourselves and how we see and participate in the world. Listening changes the world for the better.
