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.

Hello! My name is Tiffany. I have been babysitting since I was a pre-teen and love kids of all ages whether it is the toddler in those crazy two's, or the eight year old boy that wants to run around and have a blast outside. I tend to be the one volunteering to help rally up the kiddos at functions and love to play and interact with them playing dragons and the floor is lava. I love babies as well as those endearing toddlers. I also understand the guidance needed for taking care of someones child and realize what a important responsibility it is. I have had my lifeguard certification completed, CPR, as well as basic training for any situation that can arise. I have 5 years of nanny experience with twin boys and their big sister as well as other families and date-nights. When I started with my last family, the boys were 6 months and the sister was 2 and a half. They are now 5 and 8! It has surely been a ride. My husband and I are re-locating from San Diego to Denver to be near family. From my experience, I am very comfortable with day to day task as well as drop off's/pick ups and after school activities.
