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.

I am new to the area looking and looking to meet new people and families! I was just a division 1 diving coach for Illinois State but unfortunately they did not renew my contract due to other coaching changes. I love being outside and going to the pool, and just having fun in general! I am CPR/AED and First Aid certified as well. I used to babysit/nanny over the summers while in college and in graduate school. I love being with people and think that this would give me some fun while finding another full time job (or maybe that could be helping you!)
