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 recently graduated from Harrah High School and will be beginning a pre-med track at the University of Oklahoma in the fall. I am the oldest of four and have raised my siblings since I was able to read and write. I love caring for children because it’s a rewarding job, minus the pay, you’re able to make great relationships with families. I am CPR certified for babies-adults, experienced with seizures, and asthma.

I worked as a camp coordinator for 4 summers within the age group of 5-12, and I loved it. That has been my favorite job so far so I’m trying to branch out and babysit more.

What I love about being a being a baby sitter is spending time with the kids, making them happy, and having a genuine connection with them. An Important thing if having a connection with the kid is then being able to trust me and know they are safe, so we can have a fun time, and being able to model good behavior. I have younger siblings of my own, and it gets a little crazy sometimes but we always have fun. I have experience babysitting with my younger siblings, I have volunteered at the YMCA for babysitting, I have helped my sister babysit, I have also pet sitted. I have experience with working in the nursing home, and being a CNA. The skills I have include being CPR certified, First aid certified, Vital Signs certified, and Patient Safety certified. I have trained in the nursing home, and I know what I am doing with a schedule, and know how to take care of responsibilities, and safety for the kid.

I’m a sophomore in college. I also currently work at a daycare in all types of rooms so I have all the required certifications.

I’m good with kids of all ages but prefer newborn-7 years old. I’m skilled with helping with homework, cooking, and entertainment.
