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.

**About Me** Hi there! I’m Minjeong, and I’m so happy you’re here. I’ve been working part-time at a daycare/preschool, caring for infants and toddlers, and it’s been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I’m all about creating a safe, playful, and loving space for kids to learn and grow. My goal is to be someone they can trust, laugh with, and learn from every day. **Why I Love Being a Sitter** I’ve always loved being around kids, but being a sitter is something special. I love how every moment with them feels like a little adventure. From exploring their curiosity to sharing big belly laughs, it’s these small but meaningful moments that make it so worthwhile. I like to get on their level—literally and emotionally—so they feel seen, understood, and supported. Watching them grow in confidence and independence is the best feeling in the world. **Experience** - **Daycare/Preschool Caregiver:** I’m currently working part-time with infants and toddlers, and it’s been such a joy.

From nap times to snack times to giggle-filled playtime, I’ve got it covered. - **Creative Learning Facilitator:** I completed a Design Thinking Training Course for Early Childhood Education Instructors in South Korea. This gave me fun and fresh ideas for creative play and learning activities that help kids develop important skills like problem-solving, imagination, and teamwork. **Skills and Training** - **Early Childhood Education:** I’m experienced in designing fun, age-appropriate activities that help kids grow socially, emotionally, and cognitively. - **Child Safety and Supervision:** Keeping kids safe is always my top priority. I’m always alert and make sure they’re safe and secure as they explore and play. - **Creative Play and Learning:** I love coming up with engaging activities that spark curiosity and creativity. Playtime is not just fun—it’s a chance to learn! - **Positive Guidance and Discipline:** I’m all about kindness and clear communication. I believe kids thrive with gentle guidance and positive reinforcement. I’ll always encourage good choices and help them learn from their mistakes. If you’re looking for a warm, caring, and creative babysitter who’s ready to give your little one all the love and attention they need, I’d be so happy to connect.

I have 5 other siblings. And I babysit them all the time for my mom. I have helped take care of the kids since I was 11 years old. I know how to prepare meals and keep the house tidy while watching the kids. I always find something for them to do whether it be just doodling or gathering up to read a book.
