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.

Hey, I’m Bethany! I am 25 and have much experience within watching and caring for children. I had both of my younger siblings to take care of coming home from being born. I believe having that experience at such a young age is what has lead me to follow in a career working with children. I have worked in a kindergarten classroom as a teachers assistant, baby sat siblings, family friends, as well as referrals from friends. I also did nanny for over a year for a family from this site! I can’t wait to help out your family!
