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.

Q: How does a child care provider interact with my child?

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

Hi, I’m Jaye! I’m a professional nanny with over six years of experience caring for children from infancy through elementary school age, with a strong background in infant and toddler care. Most recently, I cared for an infant from 8 weeks to 6 months old, supporting feeding routines, safe sleep practices, soothing, and early developmental milestones. I also have long-term experience caring for a sibling set and growing with the family as their needs shifted from full-day care to school routines, breaks, and overnights. I create a safe, fun, and engaging environment where children can learn and grow through crafts, imaginative play, outdoor activities, sensory experiences, and reading. I’m passionate about child development and enjoy supporting learning through thoughtful interactions, curiosity, and everyday hands-on experiences. I value being a steady, dependable presence and building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents. I’m Infant, Child, and Adult CPR/First Aid/AED certified through the American Red Cross. I’m currently based on Kauaʻi through early April and available for date nights, vacation coverage, and part-time care. I am seeking a live-in nanny position beginning April/May 2026. Resume and references are available upon request.
