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 have over ten years of childcare experience working with children from ages 2 to 15. I take the responsibility of caregiving very seriously and understand how important it is for parents to feel confident and at ease when they are away from their children. I am energetic, engaging, fun, and positive, and I genuinely enjoy interacting with kids in meaningful ways. I always keep families updated throughout the day so they know their children are safe and well cared for. I provide a nurturing and supportive environment and love reading to children and encouraging learning through everyday activities. I am happy to assist with housekeeping tasks and follow children’s daily routines. Safety is always my top priority. I am highly attentive, stay alert at all times, and believe in constant supervision with eyes on children at all times.

My name is Daralis, I am a recent Hogu school graduate taking a gap year. I am looking for a babysitter job in the meantime to keep me occupied. I don’t have any younger siblings but I have been around younger kids my whole life and I have to say, I have more patience for kids than adults sometimes. I was a babysitter for two girls during my freshman through junior year and I enjoyed it so much. After school I would walk over to their house and prepare snacks for them while they settled down after getting home from school as well, I would help them with homework, take them outside to ride their bikes down to the ice cream shop, and I would just complete task as simple as that:) I really enjoy taking care of kids and I hope to continue it soon!
