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 have always had a deep passion for caring for children, which led me to pursue several internships in childcare during my time in college. These experiences gave me hands-on knowledge in providing attentive and nurturing care, even though I didn’t receive formal certifications. During my internships, I helped children with their daily routines, organized fun, educational activities, and ensured they felt safe and supported at all times. My childcare experience, I have developed strong communication and organizational skills, which help me maintain a structured yet fun environment for children. While I don't have formal certifications, my hands-on experience and commitment to children’s well-being allow me to create a positive and engaging environment for kids to thrive in.
