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! My name is Payton and i graduated from Brusly High. I come from a super big family and i’m the second oldest so taking on a nurturer role has always been natural for me. Before working at a daycare i’ve always babysat cousins and family friends, which inspired me to choose my current career choice. Since i’m in school to become a pediatrician , lately i’ve been dedicating my time to a daycare called the Academy of Early Learning in hopes of getting more used to children’s mannerisms and making sure that children start they days off correctly. A child is definitely a product of their environment so making sure that you spark positivity into their daily lives is super important. For this job I was required to renew my CPR certification, and take training courses that stress the importance of how children are and how we can help contain and manage their emotions effectively!

I have grown up all my life caring for kids, from my own little brother to cousins and more. My little brother taught me a lot as well on patient and how to take care of kids as he had special needs and even know it’s challenging I was able to adapt and learn. I can cook and clean if you want me to I have been staying home alone on late nights since I was like 9 so I have gained hours and hours of experience on how to take care of things and get things done. I can drive and have never gotten in a wreck or a ticket. I also love to run errands and do stuff so if you want me to do that as well it’s right up my alley! I’m a fun guy and just trying to be the best person for you to babysit your kid!

I love being a sitter to be able to connect with children of all ages and getting to learn the special characteristics of each child. I enjoy doing all sorts of activates such as playing games, crafting, dancing and just overall being silly. Working with kids really helps me learn and grow in different aspects of my life by learning patience, paying close attention, and learning how to make the best of of a negative. situation. I have no prior paid experiences with taking care of kids, but I watch my young nephews and nieces from time to time and enjoy getting to spend quality time with them. I am hoping by putting myself out there I can gain more experience in this area. I am available for not only watching said children but also taking care of chores around the house to make my clients live easier.

Hi! My name is Hallie, I’m 18 years old, and I’ve been caring for children for over six years. I started by babysitting for family friends and regularly working in church nurseries, which gave me experience with kids of all ages—from infants to elementary schoolers. I love being a sitter because I genuinely have a passion for caring for children and creating an environment where they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m dependable, patient, and creative. I make sure each child’s needs are met—whether that means preparing meals and snacks, helping with homework, following their routines, or just being a comforting presence. I’m also happy to help around the house and will clean up and stay on top of messes as they happen, so you can come home to a space that’s as calm as when you left. I take pride in being someone both kids and parents can trust and rely on.
