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.

Hello my name is Ashley I am 21 years old. I’ve always had such a strong connection when it came to children. I’m the oldest of 5 and come from a very big family and have always took on the nurturing role from the very beginning. In 2022 I decided I wanted to pursue working with children after graduation high school and got my first job as a class aide in 2023 in a preschool classroom. I instantly fell in love and knew this was what I was put on this earth to do. I enjoy working with all ages, I’m very patient, I know alot of fun activities, songs, and sensory things to keep a child engaged. I have alot of energy and a very helpful spirit. Having worked in childcare for over two years I have a lot of experience working with multiple children at once and maintaining my patience and demeanor.

Hi! I am a high school senior, I’m 18, and I do my schooling online. It’s very convenient for me and my schedule, I have a full time job. I’m a cook at a gas station, im looking for a better job that doesn’t drain the life out of me, and I would love the opportunity to help take care of your family! Part time would be ideal right now. I can cook, I do lots of cleaning, I can drive and help out with errands or grocery runs. I love kids and I would enjoy helping them learn and grow and have fun in a safe environment. I may not have much formal babysitting experience but I am very trust worthy and I can learn fast. I’m patient and very kind I’m also very understanding. I’ve helped out with cousins before and my adult brother who is a little developmentally delayed. And those experiences have taught me a lot more patience and responsibility. I am also proudly CPR certified!!

I am a mother of six (adults) and former co-owner/instructor of a martial arts school for 10+ years, leading primarily children's programs. I believe children are people - learning to manage big emotions in a big world - and they need calm, regulated adults to guide them. *My approach is relationship-first. I lead with presence, clear communication, and natural consequences appropriate to each child's age and development. *For young children, I prioritize nature, movement, stories, music, practical life skills, and reasonable expectations. For older kids, I incorporate physical activity, problem-solving, leadership skills, and thoughtful questions that build confidence and self-awareness. *I value partnership with families who believe in teamwork, clear communication, and a village mindset. Comfortable with neurodivergent and homeschool families. I am an animal lover & owner and Nature enthusiast.
