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 love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy caring for others and making sure they feel safe, supported, and happy. I grew up with both an older and a younger sibling, and I’ve spent many years helping care for over 14 younger cousins that I’ve grown up watching. Being around kids comes naturally to me, and I truly enjoy building meaningful connections, keeping them engaged, and providing dependable, attentive care. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, with strong communication skills and a calm, confident approach in new situations. I’m good at reading behavior cues, maintaining routines, and creating a positive and safe environment. I also hope to adopt and have children of my own in the future, which makes caregiving something I’m genuinely passionate about. I take pride in being reliable and organized, and I always keep parents informed with regular updates so they feel confident and at ease.
