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 Families! My name is Kisbel and I’m 22 years old. I’m from the beautiful Dominican Republic staying in USA as an Au pair. An au pair is a young adult from overseas who lives with a family on a legal visa for up to two years and provides childcare in exchange for a weekly stipend, room and board, and an opportunity to become part of an American family. So that’s why I have a lot of experience with kids!❤️ I love working with children because ensures each day will be a unique adventure because kids are exciting and unpredictable! I take care of two kids (5 months and 1 year and a half) they’re adorable and I love them. I have a lot of free time so that’s why I wanna do extra job doing what I love 💕

I am recently graduated with a Master’s Degree, and also have a Bachelors in Psychology. In 2017, I completed 75 hours of internship at STARS academy. STARS is a preschool for typical and atypical children 0-6. I served as a caregiver while providing some education. I also have a year of experience working in special education. I recently moved to Idaho Falls and am looking for some part time babysitting positions. I am comfortable with any ages and can also provide driving services if needed.
