Many providers report they are First Aid and CPR certified to provide the best care for your family.

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! My name is Kerry and I have several years of childcare experience. I nannied my two nephews from 2018–2021, and then worked in a daycare setting from 2021–2023 caring for children from newborn through 4 years old. After that, I continued nannying for a family for 8 months. I am now a mom myself to a 1-year-old daughter, so I understand the importance of patient communication, routine, emotional regulation skills, developmental play, and gentle guidance. I’m very comfortable supporting babies and toddlers through milestones, transitions, sleep routines, bottle/feeding schedules, solids introduction, and activities that support early learning. I believe in creating a safe, nurturing and fun environment where children feel loved, supported, and heard. I’m reliable, caring, and love building strong relationships with the families I work with.
