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 there! My name is Gabrielle. I've been caring for children for over 13 years, and it's something I truly love. Being the oldest in my family, I naturally grew up looking after younger kids, and I started babysitting at just 11 years old for my mom's coworkers. I've had the joy of working with children of all ages and abilities, including kids with autism and other special needs. My experience, along with my educational background, helps me provide care that's patient, fun, and supportive. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Education from the University of Cincinnati, and I'm currently pursuing my Master's in Special Education. I'd be more than happy to share recommendations if you'd like!
