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 have been in childcare for 15 years, I am a kindergarten teacher during the school year. I've worked as both a nanny and a daycare provider. I tend to create structure in my day so that children are provided with a creative learning space. I do have children of my own who would need to accompany me. I have my own transportation and I am looking for a family who would need me for a year or longer. Experience with all ages and I can do occasional date nights. I am cpr, first aid, child abuse and communicable disease certified (these are standard certs needed to work in daycare)
