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, I work for a Head Start program that's only opened 6 moths out of the year and the reason why I'm babysitting/nanny. Watching how they grow, explore and absorb their environment is amazing. I must add they are hilariously strategic in accomplish what they shouldn't be doing. I'm an infant and toddler teacher and have training on active supervision, behavior training, CPR and first aid training. I consider myself capable in providing a safe and learning environment for your children were ever we may be.

I love working with children because it brings me joy to watch them learn, grow, and feel supported in a safe environment. I have several years of childcare experience, including babysitting for family and friends, working with children of different ages, and helping with routines like meals, playtime, and bedtime. I’m currently enrolled in college to earn my Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education, which has given me valuable knowledge about child development and learning. I also hold a CPR certification, so families can feel confident that safety is always a priority. I’m patient, dependable, and creative—I enjoy planning fun activities such as reading, arts and crafts, and outdoor play. Families can count on me to be responsible, caring, and dedicated to creating a positive environment for their little ones.
