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! My name is Samantha. I am a responsible 23 year old who would love to watch your kids :) I prefer to watch children over the age of 2 but I'm very flexible. My caregiving philosophy is, I'll do whatever you ask me to. I follow the rules. Kids tend to like having me around because I'm fun and unlike a lot of other babysitters, I actually play with them. I love to play board games, cards, color, bake, make up new games, or anything else we think sounds like fun. Within reason of course. And I always clean up afterwards! I'm also smarter than a 5th grader (haha) so I can help out with homework if needed.

I am very attentive, loving, nurturing and patient. I respect your concerns of finding someone special, safe and patient. I am a non smoker with my own reliable vehicle. I have over 15 years experience in care-taking of many ages. I have two rescue/shelter dogs and one rescue cat. I sang and read to both my babies before they were born and continued after. I read in English and Spanish to them. I speak on an intermediate level. Played some Buble', classical, rock n' roll, Spanish, children and current music. I love to hold and cuddle. Talk to and connect to a child on their level. I am a great organizer, love to cook and multi task. I get things done but your little one's needs come first should you require additional duties. I would love the opportunity to meet with you and your family. Thank you.
