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 cared for many children in the past. As an adult professional I have the ability to care for children day/night and over the weekend. I can also assist the children in a number of academic areas. I am willing to help the parents in anyway possible such as, but not limited too, cooking meals when necessary.

I love spending time with kids. Their innocence is absolutely adorable. I am a phd student who has decent amount of free time so want to babysit kids once in a while. I have a drivers license but don't own a car. So I would be choosing to work with people whose homes are close to bus lines and easy to get to.

Hi, my name is Chelsea and I am a Postpartum Doula, I also babysit/nanny as well. I have two kiddos of my own (10 and 7) 2 dogs, and a cat. I have been babysitting since I was around 14/15 years old and throughly enjoy children. I also know how challenging being a parent can be, so I am always looking for ways in which I can help parents out - tidying up, laundry, dishes, organizing if time allows. I am also a yoga teacher, and love teaching yoga to kids and parents alike. Since I am a Doula as well, I also know a lot about the development of new babies, and can also answer breast feeding questions, help determine if things are within the scope of normal or not and support mom and baby with their needs!

Hello, my name is Kenzi and I am currently attending CU Boulder. I have been working with kids since I was twelve. I’ve worked with dozens of families with kids between the age of 12 weeks to fourteen years old. In the last five years I have worked between preschools and being a caregiver for a kid with special needs. In total I have about eight months as a full time preschool teacher, and almost two and a half years as a part time caregiver. When I’m not at work I live to explore the outdoors, do arts and crafts (absolutely love doing them with the kiddos) and enjoying quality time with those I’m closest to.
