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 Kayla and I'm 25 years old and a graduate of Alabama A&M University. The caretaking experience I have has began with a 10 years old child. I made him lunch and kept him occupied while he was there. I cleaned the house and did laundry and straighten up the house. The next experience was a 1-year-old child. I changed her diapers, fed it her bottles and rocked her to sleep and sang her a lullaby. I have many young cousins and I have experience of being a youth president at my church for 4 years so I have some experience with young children. I would treat your child with the love and care I treat my family. My most recent nanny position was with a 6 and 2-year-old brother and sister which I prepared lunch and dinner for, played with, bathe and put them to bed. A caretaker is such a important job and I would to be that to your child.
