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 parents, I love how children delight in the little things in life. They inspire adults to have joy too.☺️ I'm the middle child of eleven children, so I have experience with playing with children (siblings and nieces and nephews). I have a calm personality that can handle chaotic circumstances without overreacting. I would be happy to bring some books to read to your child or do crafts with them! I would enjoy babysitting a baby or toddler, but would consider older children too.

I’m a fun outgoing sitter, willing to drive distances and run task. I’m humble and a great example for kids. I provide a fun and safe comforting environment to kids with absolutely no judgment ! I love kid’s, and i love how you can be yourself around them without a doubt that they won’t get a kick out of it. I live with 2 twins that are 7 and a 11 year old along with some teens, i’m very patient and will understand they are just young and still learning and you can’t be tempered with them because they are still learning. I’m looking for a family to babysit for that i can stay in contact with and babysit often for. I’m very trusted and kids are good in my hands :). I’m also very good at adapting to your child’s hobby’s and i collect a lot of interest in the stuff they enjoy! it’s a precious job to have.

I have always enjoyed working with children of all ages. Ever since I was about 10 years old I’ve babysat for friends and family. When I was in high school I went to vocational school for Early Childhood Education for 2 years and worked in a state licensed preschool, working with infants all the way up to 5 year olds. I planned lessons and taught. Through and after high school I worked at a YMCA in childwatch for a couple hours while parents came to work out or take classes, working with children from infant to 10 year olds. I can do in my home or yours. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I love to be an important and reliable person in a young child’s life :) I do not have a license to drive.

I have always had a child around me growing up, between my siblings/ relatives. I also used to coach little league cheerleading, that includes all three levels. Kids are my passion. I’m currently working with toddlers at the Goddard school in boardman and was just teacher of the month in January, and then teacher of the year in 2024. I love what I do and how much kids love me. I’ve also been told I’m the potty training whisperer! I will be going to the police academy in the fall. Classes are 6-10 pm but I would still be available as I still need to be getting paid:)
