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 am a New Zealander that found home in the Catskills where I live with my husband and our daughter born in 2022. I've been a full time nanny for 12 years. I have had experience with newborns through teenagers as well as first hand experience since becoming a mom. I've worked in several places including New Zealand, Australia and here in the USA both New York City and Los Angeles. I've been a travel nanny including spending five weeks abroad with the family looking after their two, and three year old daughters. I have special needs experience as well as asthma, allergies, and dietary restrictions in children. I spent one year as a full time nanny for a toddler with leukemia going through chemotherapy. I love being a part of the village it takes to raise a child and I especially enjoy seeing them grow, and develop and seeing the world through their eyes.

Emily was great! She watched our toddler and infant at the same time and did a great job. She was responsible and communicative and we felt very comfortable having emily watch our children. She even cleaned our entire messy kitchen while the kids napped!

Hello! My name is Marion, and I am an experienced nanny originally from Estonia. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for children in various settings, and I truly love my profession. I’ve worked as an au pair in the U.S. for two wonderful, energetic boys—aged 2.5 and 5—where I was more like a second mom to them. I took them to doctor’s appointments, school events, and helped keep their daily routine running smoothly. Alongside my hands-on experience, I also completed extensive training in child care, first aid, and CPR, which has helped me stay prepared for any situation that may come up. Before becoming an au pair, I was a nanny for two toddler-aged girls, and I also frequently babysat two girls, ages 8 and 11, providing round-the-clock care when their parents traveled for business. As someone who’s passionate about board games, books, and spending quality time with kids, I think learning and fun go hand in hand. I’m easygoing, reliable, and fully understand how tough it can be to balance work and family life. My goal is to help parents in every way I can—whether that’s through hands-on childcare or helping out around the house. I aim to make your life easier, so you can focus on what matters most. Looking forward to talking to you!
