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! I have been babysitting for about 12 years. I started out when I was about 12 years old watching the infants-toddlers at my church in the nursery. Ages ranged from six months through four years old. I have also babysat family friends of ours children, the ages ranged from newborn through eleven years old. I now have a daughter of my own who will be 2 in May. I enjoy making children happy and laugh, and love being around children making memories with them and having a lot of fun. Whether this be a relation to me or not. I however, do not have any training or certifications.

A little bit about me… Hello! I’m Miss Brooklyn. I’m a mother to two beautiful girls (3 and 7). I have always had a passion for children. I am experienced and currently in early childhood education. I have strong values for play based learning and emotional development. When children are in my care I care for them as if they are my own. I love seeing children learn and grow.I have worked with children with a wide range of life circumstances and abilities. Empathy and patience are strong characteristics I practice when working with children. Choosing childcare can be a difficult and scary time and ensuring children feel safe and comfort in my care are my number 1 priority. I have obtained my CDA certification for infants and toddlers. Finding a family that would be willing for my almost 3 year old (Clover) to come with me would be ideal. she will soon age out of her childcare program I am willing to negotiate pay and do meet and greets to make sure it’s a good fit.
