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.

Grandma of two. Mother of twins. Retired. Was an EMT in the 1990s but no current certificates. I love the Montessori school of thought and raised my three children to be independent, yet supervised. I understand that children need to be taught things and that they get messy and make mistakes. I enjoy playing with babies and toddlers and encourage limited screen time, including video games.

Hi! My name is Jenny. I’m Filipino and have always loved working with kids and animals they bring so much joy and energy into life. I have experience babysitting back in the Philippines before I had my own children, including working for families of different backgrounds,my previous employer was Italian. I also have a beautiful teenage daughter, so as a parent, I truly understand how important it is to have a trustworthy nanny who will care for your child with love and attention. My recent job was as a dietary aide, helping prepare and deliver meals for patients while making sure their needs were met. I also have a culinary background and love to cook, so I enjoy preparing healthy and delicious meals for kids and families. I bring the same care, patience, and attention to detail to babysitting, creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children and pets alike.
