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 Jazmine, and I’m 18 years old. I’ve always enjoyed working with kids and have experience babysitting as well as caring for my younger sister when our parents weren’t home, along with looking after my little cousins. During middle school and high school, I often assisted teachers by caring for and supporting students with special needs when they needed an extra hand. That experience taught me patience, understanding, and how to handle situations calmly when things got overwhelming. I’m responsible, dependable, and love creating fun activities to keep kids entertained. I’m also comfortable with pets, can help with light chores or meals, and I’m always focused on keeping children safe and happy. I love arts and crafts, which means I’m always ready with fun activities to keep kids busy and creative. I also enjoy cooking and baking, so I’m happy to prepare meals or snacks while making sure everything is safe and healthy.
