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.

-Kids are the most wholesome and down to earth group you can work with I enjoy being creative and having fun and understanding there’s so many perspectives and adventures out in the world -I continuously babysat for a few months Monday-Friday from 5am-3pm while the mother went to work first shift. I provided nutritious snacks and meals as I’m studying to become a Registered Dietitian, I find that to be crucial especially working with early development. I also ensured we received fresh air and went outside whether that be just sitting, going on a walk, or playing games. - I successfully received my CPR certificate during my hands on Health Care Science Course. I am also bilingual as I speak Spanish alongside English.
