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 caring for children because I enjoy watching them learn, grow, and discover the world around them. I believe every child is unique, and I enjoy getting to know their individual personalities, interests, strengths, and needs. Whether we are reading, playing, working on homework, doing crafts, or simply talking about their day, I strive to create a safe, positive, and encouraging environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. I have extensive experience working with children in both childcare and educational settings. I have worked with children from infancy through middle school, including experience in daycare, after-school programs, and special education. I have cared for children as young as eight weeks old and have provided homework help and educational activities for PreK through fifth-grade children. I have also worked as a Teacher Aide/PCA with students with physical disabilities, autism, and other developmental and behavioral needs. I currently work as a Teacher Aide at Bolivar-Richburg High School. My training includes autism classroom training, behavioral training, TCI, paraeducator coursework, and PCA certification. I also have my Level I Teacher Assistant Certification and am currently working toward my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and Special Education. My education and professional experience have helped me develop strong patience, communication, organization, problem-solving, and behavior-support skills. As a mom myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children. I take that responsibility seriously. I am dependable, attentive, patient, and adaptable, and I understand the importance of following each family's routines and expectations. My goal is for children to feel safe, supported, and cared for while their parents are away.
