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 been babysitting since High School which was back in 1982! I am now a young grandma at heart. I have two adult daughters of my own. I was a nanny for an infant back in 1983 for 5 years and this beautiful baby grew up to be a wonderful women with a child of her own. She is still a big part of my life after all these years. I have much experience and prefer the ages of 0-3 yrs. I feel this age is a very important part of a child's intellectual development. I have worked for a babysitting service in the Jackson Hole, Wyoming area, and have also worked for an infant and toddler care center there as well. I love babies!

I love being a sitter because I am the oldest child in my family and have always been around kids. In high school I would watch my aunt's kids a lot, they were young and older. I am a fun person and am patient with all ages.

Most of my life has been centered around uplifting children and making it fun for them to learn and acquire skills needed- Im full of imagination, theres never a dull moment- Food prep is always artistic to keep them interested and eager to eat veggies and fruits. Its one of my greatest joys for me to be able to encourage each child to express themselves while they build confidence along the way. If given the opportunity to care for the loves of your life I will make sure they feel every ounce of joy in their little precious hearts.
