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 absolutely love working with kids, and have over two years of experience working with children ages 3 to 11 in an instructional and recreational setting. As an assistant & teacher at a dance studio, I managed everything from technical lessons to snack breaks, bathroom transitions, and creative playtime. I am comfortable looking after multiple children at once and keeping them engaged, safe, and on schedule. I am CPR, and can provide extra services if needed!

Hi! I'm Paris, a dependable, nurturing, and experienced nanny with over six years of professional childcare experience. As one of the oldest of nine siblings, caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. I have experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children, and I'm confident managing multiple children at once. My youngest sibling has Down syndrome, giving me valuable experience providing patient, attentive, and individualized care for children with varying needs. I am CPR and First Aid certified and believe in creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I enjoy planning educational activities, arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, reading, sensory play, helping with homework, preparing healthy meals, and maintaining consistent daily routines. I also have experience with potty training, nap and bedtime routines, bottle feeding, diaper changes, and supporting developmental milestones. Beyond childcare, I'm happy to assist with light housekeeping, children's laundry, meal preparation, organization, transportation, errands, and keeping your home running smoothly. My goal is to become a trusted extension of your family by providing dependable, compassionate care that gives parents peace of mind. I take pride in building lasting relationships with the families I work with, and I would love the opportunity to support yours.
