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! I am a First Aid and CPR certified childcare professional with over 1 year of experience working with autistic children as a Registered Behavior Technician and 3 years of childcare experience overall. I grew up in a big family with a lot of younger cousins running around and have loved working with children since my first paid babysitting job as a teenager. I enjoy finding new and fun ways to interact with the kids I work with, whether it be making up fantastical stories or creating new games to play together. I prefer to limit iPad screen time to 1 hour or less per day with television time being given looser restrictions, though I will respect any rules or limitations previously put in place by parents regarding this matter. I can help with homework or run errands and I'm happy to work in a home with pets. I will clean up any mess made by the children while under my care and can perform light housekeeping. Availability: Saturday+Sunday - full availability Monday-Friday - available early morning or later evening hours (unavailable from the hours 11am-8pm)

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.

I also have a culinary background and love to cook, so I enjoy preparing healthy and delicious meals for kids and families.

Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy working with children and helping them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I love watching children learn and grow, keeping them engaged with fun and age-appropriate activities, and creating a comfortable routine for them. As a mom myself, I also understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can truly trust with their child. What experience do you have? I have professional experience working in a daycare, where I cared for children and helped with their daily routines, activities, meals, and overall safety and well-being. I also have hands-on experience raising my own toddler, including preparing meals, playtime, naps, bedtime routines, potty training, and creating a safe and structured environment. My experience both professionally and as a parent has taught me how to be patient, attentive, dependable, and flexible with different children's needs and personalities. What skills and training do you have? I have an Associate degree in Psychology, which has given me a strong foundation in child development, behavior, and communication. My daycare experience has also helped me develop practical childcare skills, including supervising children, maintaining routines, communicating with parents, handling challenging behaviors calmly, and creating age-appropriate activities. I am patient, responsible, organized, nurturing, and attentive to children's safety and individual needs.
