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.

** NANNY RESUME AND REFERENCE LETTER AVAILABLE** Hi, my name is Jamie! I am an experienced nanny of many years. I am a very active person with many hobbies. I have done mixed martial arts for 6 years, and have been rollerblading since I was 5. Originally, I was pursuing a college degree in special needs education; However, when Covid occurred, I took a semester off and became a full time nanny. With full intentions of returning to school, I was not expecting the incredible and beautiful relationships that would develop with many different families over the next few years. I very quickly discovered that nannying was the perfect merge of teaching, life skills and emotional development, and so much more. I was raised in a good home, with two loving parents; after being adopted at the age of 4. It is through nannying that I have a much deeper respect for the familial unit, however that might look. As truly, it does take a village to raise good kids! I am excited to be a part of the team, and looking forward to meeting you.
