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.

Mom of 4 boys, youngest 16, grandma of 2 toddlers.. I’m looking to care for a little one, preferably in my home but will consider coming to yours. In the new year I’m expecting I will have my little grandson a few days a week since they are moving near me. I am caring, gentle, patient and kind. I enjoy caring for babies and toddlers are so fun! My profession is working with individuals with disabilities, and have worked as a substitute teacher for many years.

I am a senior in college and I am a babysitter when I am back home. I have a lot of younger cousins and family friends who I babysit for all the time. I enjoy being able to help those who need someone to watch their children because my mother was in the same boat at one point. I am comfortable with children of any age or multiple at once. I am certified in CPR and can help with even when a child is sick. Feel free to contact me about any questions.

Hey! My name is Desarae Kelly. I am a 19yr old college student majoring in nursing. I am just looking for a family who may need my assistance. I have limited experience with professional babysitting, however, I am a STNA with cpr and first aide certifications. I have worked in nursing homes for about 2 years and I have also been a caregiver for a year. Additionally, I have a car with full coverage insurance and don’t mind driving places. I grew up with 5 siblings and many pets so I don’t mind multiple children or pets in the home either!

I adore being a sitter because I adore children, their enthusiasm, their freedom of thought, and the fact that you can always learn something new from them. I worked in childcare at the YMCA because I've always enjoyed dealing with children and getting to know new ones. My minor in school is early childhood education, and I work at summer day camps and do before- and after-school care programs. I've worked as a babysitter for my parents, friends, and siblings' friends who also have kids. I have first aid and CPR certifications, and I get along well with children of all ages.

I truly enjoy working with kids. I love babysitting because I enjoy creating a fun, safe and positive environment where kids can play, learn, and feel comfortable. It's also good practice for when I wanna have my own kids some day. I have 3 years experience caring for babies and toddlers, including helping with meals, playtime, and keeping things tidy. I'm patient, responsible, and always focused on safety. I did do a couple cleaning jobs so I have experience in that, I can help with light cleaning and following any routines parents have in place. I'm also great with pets. Families can count on me to be dependable, respectful and someone their children feel comfortable, safe and happy with.
