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’m Gracie, and I absolutely love being a sitter and nanny. I’ve been caring for kids for about 4 years now, and it’s truly one of my favorite things to do. Watching little ones grow, learn, and laugh brings me so much joy. I love creating a safe, fun, and cozy environment where kids feel happy and cared for — whether that means playing games, doing crafts, or helping with homework. I’m also BLS certified, so you can always count on me to put safety first.

I love being able to help here and there with the little things, I’ve watched my little brothers since I was about 12 and I learned a lot. I have my CPR Certification and my First Aid. Once I received those two certificates I was more knowledgeable, I know what to do in case of mostly anything. I took 2 child development classes in high school that also taught me a lot on how to care for infants/kids. I can change diapers, I’m happy to help meal prep. I also have my own car which can help out If the child/children go to school.

My name is Victoria, everyone calls me Tori. I’m 30 years old. I have 4 kids. I use to work in a daycare but I came home because afterschool care can be outrageous for 4 kids. All my kids are in school so I figured it would be easier to babysit someone else who needs help. I have my credentials to work in a daycare and I’ve also been cpr certified! I love kids and their little creative minds!
