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.

Hello, my name is Tammie Boston. I will start by sayin I am the mother of two sons and the proud grandmother of a 3 year old granddaughter. Those facts only broadened my heart towards children. However, my baby sitting duties started way before them. Outside of helping to raise my sister's girls because she has been a diabetic since the age of 9, and stayed very sick after each birth. That was family, so my paid experience started my first summer home from college. I worked a summer program for Rainbow Express Daycare. We swam, went on trips daily, skated, etc. The next year, while I attended Ga State University pursing a Sociology degree, I worked for " A Friend Of the Family Agency" in Atlanta. I had the pleasure to work as a full-time nanny, part-time permanent nanny , as well as an on-call nanny. I loved it so much that I kept that as my main job after college for a while. I have experience from a newborn up until the age of 17. The older age groups were overnight care, after-school or date nights. I have over 10 plus years in of experience just in a paid environment One of my favorite things are to make a child feel safe, secure and loved when their parents are at home or away. I also am proud to say that so many parents felt comfortable with me being in their home or office and trust me with their most valuable and loved person/persons in their lives. That was truly a blessing. I also feel that my experience as a transition/education counselor at the Georgia Dept. Justice for over 10 years, offers a unique perspective with dealing with youth from all backgrounds. My vast experience as a whole has given so much empathy and a genuine love for all kids in my care. I am now retired from the Federal government and would love to get back to loving and caring for children.

I’ve always had a passion for caring for children. In high school, I took Early Childhood classes where I worked weekly with primary and elementary students. I truly enjoyed the experience and successfully completed the pathway. I have an associates degree in Early Childhood Education and am eager to babysit more children to continue building my experience and strengthen my resume as I work towards my bachelors degree.
