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.

I've worked with kids with autism for 2. 5 years, and over the summer I was a nanny for my boss's twin 1-year-olds and 4-year-old. I have experience caring for kids ages 1-16. I'm TB tested & CPR certified, and have reliable transportation. I'd love to find out if I'm a good fit for your family!

I love being a sitter because I grew up around young kids all my life. I am currently in college as a nursing major in Honolulu. I have experience in healthcare as a caregiver for the older population. Though not paid experience I have a younger sister which I gained experience taking care of her from a baby to now as she’s a first grader. Being involved in community service allowed me to gain experience with a wide range of kid ages such as elementary school kids and even teenagers.I also have CPR, First Aid, and Seizure certification.

Aloha! My name is Aureana Ebana, and I am excited to share that I will be attending BYU as I work toward my goal of becoming a pediatric traveling nurse. I have a deep passion for working with children, which is why I am often the one to take a crying baby out of sacrament meetings to help comfort them. Since 2022, I have had the privilege of babysitting children aged 1-7, and I truly enjoy creating a fun, safe environment for them. I prioritize activities like arts and crafts, outdoor play, and storytime to engage children in ways that support their growth and creativity. I also know how important routines are for children, so I make sure to follow mealtime, nap, and bedtime schedules to help them feel secure and cared for. Additionally, I am food safety certified, ensuring that the meals I prepare are safe and healthy for your child. I have also had the opportunity to work with children with special needs, which has taught me how to adapt my caregiving to meet each child’s individual needs. I am committed to providing dependable and loving care, and I would be honored to care for your family. Mahalo for considering me!

Aloha! My name is Karissa. I am currently home from college for summer break and available for babysitting. While I do not have formal babysitting experience, I have experience working with children through summer camps. For the past two summers, I have worked at Camp Imua, a camp for children with cognitive and developmental disabilities. During camp, I was paired with a camper and was responsible for supervising, supporting, and engaging them throughout the week. This experience taught me patience, responsibility, adaptability, and how to create a safe and positive environment for children. I enjoy working with kids and love finding fun, creative activities that keep them engaged and away from screens. I look forward to meeting your family and providing a safe, caring, and enjoyable experience for your children!
