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.

Working with children has been a passion of mine for my entire life. My mother ran a daycare so I was in the environment of one, as well as helping take over the daycare when needed in my older years. Being able to be watch children flourish and grow throughout the years is what makes it all worth it! I have worked in two different elementary school settings and absolutely loved it! I was first a paraprofessional for grades Preschool-Third. I was then a Teacher’s Assistant for Kindergarten-First Grade! I am First Aid and CPR certified, I am willing and able to do any tasks around the house that are needed. Throughout my time as a Teacher’s Assistant I learned how to lesson plan and set up different sensory activities!

I like being a sitter because I enjoy spending time with kids and helping them have fun while staying safe. It’s really rewarding to be someone they can trust and feel comfortable around. I’ve watched kids of different ages and helped with things like meals, homework, playtime, and bedtime. I’m used to keeping them entertained while also making sure they’re safe and following routines. I’m patient, responsible, and good at communicating with kids. I can stay calm in different situations and handle problems when they come up. I also work at a daycare which has provided me to complete my cpr and first aid certificate.
