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.

Right now, I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work mornings, afternoons, evenings, or weekends — whatever your family needs! I recently graduated with my Doctorate in Physical Therapy. I’m currently applying to PT jobs, so I’m looking for a meaningful side job while I transition into my career — and babysitting is something I genuinely enjoy. I bring years of hands-on childcare experience, both personally and professionally. As the oldest of seven children, I’ve grown up helping care for kids of all ages. I also spent two full summers working at the Huron Mountain Club, a private club where I was responsible for supervising and engaging children from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., often planning full days of activities, games, crafts, and outdoor play. I as well have pediatric physical therapy experience. I am CPR, AED and first aid certified.
