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’m a recent college graduate with a Crimonology Bachelors and Psychology minor. I have been babysitting for all ages since I was a teenager! I also have a couple years of nursing classes, so my knowledge there is also applicable. If allowed, I have a very reliable car, love taking the kids for a day out at the library, park, museum, etc. I excel in infants, ages 3 and under- but I am open to all ages and pets!

I am a mom of two grown children of my own, Before having children of my own I would work a lot of babysitting/nanny positions. I love children and they tend to take to me as well. I am a soft and compassionate person. I will love and care for your child/children like they are my own. You will never have to worry one second about them when you're gone. Having someone you're comfortable with and make your child/children happy is with a million dollars, and I can guarantee that someone is me.
