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.

Hello! My name is Sky, I am 23 and currently pursuing a psychology degree at Stark State. I have a part-time job but I am looking for extra cash on the side to help with some more bills I just accumulated. I absolutely adore children and I want to gain more experience taking care of tiny humans. I practically raised my baby sister for her first couple of years, so most of my experience is with infants.

Hi! My name is Ari, and caring for children is truly something I've always been passionate about. I've been working in childcare since last October, but I've been around kids my entire life. Most of my hands-on experience is with children ages 2 and up, and I've also had the privilege of working with children who are autistic or developmentally delayed. I originally planned to pursue a career in education, but along the way I discovered how much I really love early childhood work. While returning to school hasn't been realistic for me right now, I'm grateful to be in a field where I can support, teach, and help children grow every day. I'm patient, reliable, and truly enjoy creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for the kids I care for. I look forward to connecting with families who are looking for someone caring and dedicated!
