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 mature, responsible woman with well over a decade of experience caring for children as young as 5 days old to teenagers and everything in between. I have worked with children on the spectrum, so I am comfortable with special needs as well. I have reliable transportation and a clean driving history. I cook. I clean. I do whatever is required so that the families I work with have their requirements met. I am very flexible regarding days and times. I am good natured and patient. I enjoy being around children and always hope to impact them in positive ways. Comfortable with pets should that be an issue. I guess the main service I provide is peace of mind for the parents, that they know when they are away from their precious children, those children are absolutely safe and well cared for.

I have been caring for children over ten years. I’m a mother of 3 grownup children of my own. I enjoy working with children and watching them grow. My last position was with a family for 1 1/2 years they moved out of state. I took care of their daughter since she was about 4 months old. I’m currently taking care of another girl since she was an infant . She is five now and goes to daycare the rest of the week. I was taking care of two boys also but that came to an end when covic came around. I can prepare meals and do laundry and even help with pets if needed.

I first discovered my love for childcare in 2015, when I worked as an au pair for a 3‑year‑old boy. From 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., I was by his side, preparing his meals, getting him ready for daycare, administering his asthma treatment, helping with his math and English homework, taking him to after‑school activities three days a week, giving him his evening shower, and gently settling him into bed. I now work in a school setting with elementary students in a special education classroom, where I provide emotional, behavioral, and academic support every day. This experience has made me patient, attentive, and very comfortable supporting children with different needs and personalities. I am CPR‑certified, have my own car, and am truly hoping to find a warm, kind family who is looking for someone they can genuinely rely on to care for their children. My schedule is fully open on weekends and occasionally during weekdays, and I would be delighted to become a caring and dependable part of your family’s routine.
