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.

Hi, I am a recent undergrad student from Hamilton College. I have always had a natural role as a caregiver being the oldest daughter in my family. From helping care for my siblings as infants to now looking after four kids regularly, I have built years of hands-on experience with children of different ages. I love babysitting because I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids can play, learn, and feel cared for. In addition to my experience, I’m skilled at multitasking, problem-solving, and keeping kids engaged with activities that fit their interests.
