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 worked with children and babies my entire teen to adult career experience . I love kids, babies, pets, and even codependent adults. I love teaching, crafts, singing songs, making music with instruments, making small meals, and so much more. I am in school getting my ASL certification. I became a teacher because I love to help people, and the children need help with guidance into the real world. I worked with children with developmental delays, maladaptive behaviors, anger management issues, Autism, severe childhood trauma, ADHD, OCD, and even depression and suicidal thoughts and tendencies. My goal is to become a better teacher and mentor every day, working towards communicating with my students and kids who just need a little more help. I am currently working at a daycare where I am a float in the infant, toddler, twos, pre school, pre-k, and school age children. I believe every child should have a chance at learning and experiencing a fun pleasant time while they absorb their knowledge and release the stress and troubles.

I have 8 years of babysitting experience and 6 years of paid experience. I have knowledge about all areas and ages, and I am skilled at finding things to do with the children that we both can enjoy. I can follow set schedules, teach them how to develop and grow skills of their own, and even do household tasks. Growing up and taking care of those younger than me has always brought me joy. It is the main reason why I am going to school to be on track to become a pediatric nurse.

The reason I love being a sitter is because I love helping kids learn, have fun, and feel safe while giving parents peace of mind. I love bonding with new and different personalities because all kids bring joy . What experience do I have? I have experience working with children of different ages and abilities (experience with Autistic children that have been clinically diagnosed) , including as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) , and I’ve cared for younger siblings and family members. What skills and training do I have? I’m patient, dependable, and experienced with behavior support. I also understand child safety, HIPAA, CPR/ First aid and AED and how to create a positive, supportive environment.
