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.

Hi! My name is Makinsey Dennis, but I go by Kinsey. I am 21 years old. I live in Calhoun, GA and am currently enrolled in nursing school. I decided to become a babysitter back in 2018 when some family friends of my parents wanted occasional date nights alone without their kids. I offered to be their baby sitter. That then turned into after school watches for multiple families as well. I did stop baby sitting shortly after I graduated and got a full time desk job in audiology. When deciding to go back to school, I realized I could not keep working full time. Now, I do work part time, but get with me on days/times you are needing and I can let you know my availability since it does change week to week due to classes, work, current families I am sitting for, and clinicals. Every family and child is different and I love getting to know each family that I sit for. While in high school I completed a pathway in Early Childhood Education and in Healthcare. I am CPR certified, and TB tested. I am vaccinated for Covid.
