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! I'm a 25 year old reliable & experienced babysitter with a long history of working with children & families. I'm CPR/first aid certified, & I've been babysitting since I was a teenager. I have provided care for multiple families & have cared for all ages from infants & toddlers to older kids & teens. I would consider myself dependable, flexible, & respectful! More about me/skills/training/etc: My primary job I work for when not babysitting is a disability services company where I've spent the last few years at, so I have experience with care of children & adults with varying physical & mental disabilities or needs. I have an older sister who is a social worker & foster parent, so I am authorized to & still help care for many of the children who come through her home over the years. I have taken classes or completed courses in child development, psychology, crisis intervention, trauma informed care, etc. throughout my life. I also hold a Bachelor's degree in both Theatre & French from Ball State University. With these things being said, I would say I have a range of knowledge or understanding when it comes to adapting my care to fit what each child & family needs as well as bringing communication skills, creativity, & prior experience. I have a car & a valid driver's license, so I'm able to assist with transportation, errands, school pick-ups, or getting kids to & from activities if desired, so long as there are carseats for children if needed. I can help with homework & have experience in helping tutor others, depending on the subject of course. I don't mind pets in the home so long as they are not aggressive! I love animals! I myself have three cats! If you're looking for someone experienced to trust, provide care of your child or children, support your routines, & is easy to communicate with, I'd love to connect :)

I am currently pursuing a teaching degree at Ball State University and have a strong passion for making a positive impact on children's lives. My ability to connect with kids and my enjoyment of interacting with them are key strengths. I am friendly and approachable, while also valuing routine and structure in my approach to childcare. I believe in the importance of active communication and am seeking a part-time position for afterschool care. M-F I am available to assist with light housekeeping, homework help, and providing engaging activities for children. Additionally, I am open to carpooling and can prepare light afterschool snacks.
