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 am a 22-year-old babysitter with over four and a half years of child care experience, caring for children from 6 weeks old to 10 years old. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and safety is always my top priority. I strive to create a warm, nurturing environment where children feel secure, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I enjoy engaging children through creative and educational activities such as arts and crafts, reading together, and exploring new things that spark curiosity. I believe in balancing structured routines with imaginative play to meet each child’s unique needs and developmental stage. I am patient, reliable, and attentive, and I value building trusting relationships with both children and parents. I am excited to bring my experience, creativity, and enthusiasm to a babysitting or nanny role while providing families with dependable, high-quality care.

I’m a 19 (soon to be 20) year old girl who absolutely adores kids! I grew up with a large family surrounded by little ones at all times and it really gave me a passion for taking care of them. I also have some professional experience having worked at a preschool/daycare for several months. I tend to come off as very shy but i’m definitely a more relaxed and laid back person. Despite the shyness, kids seem to warm up to me very quickly and always seem to like me! I have a pretty open schedule except Mondays and Wednesdays from 10:00a.m-1:00p.m and have my own transportation. Some more things you should know are that I don’t smoke, and I am CPR,AED, and first aid certified.
