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 like being a sitter because there's not a lot of people who would and I took care of my siblings a lot growing up and I have always been good with kids. I have been babysitting since I was 14. I have been a para at an elementary school and I have worked in a group home. I have work with all types of kids and different ages. I have also coached volleyball for 4 years. I am not CPR certified but through the army I am. I have also taken lifeguarding course and babysitting courses and courses through the group home I have worked in. So I have been around CPR and first aid since I was a young child
