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 Ashland Linton and I am currently a student at West Georgia Technical College to get my associates degree in surgical technology. I am CPR certified and I have my own car if transportation is needed. If I had describe myself in three words, I would say that I am nurturing, caring, and kind-hearted. All three of those adjectives are great characteristics to have when caring for children, in addition to being responsible and respectful. I have three years of experience in caring for children that include my younger brother and a group of children that live in my neighborhood as well as the children of family and friends . Over time, I have built amazing bonds with not only the children, but their families too. I hope that you will take the opportunity to allow me to not only be a great babysitter but to make lifelong memories with you and your children
