Many providers report they are First Aid and CPR certified to provide the best care for your family.

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! I’m Deja, and I'm originally from California, but I have been living in Huntsville since 2023. I recently graduated from UAH with a degree in Business Administration. I've been babysitting since high school for families and friends, and I also spent a year nannying, caring for a child from newborn through toddler age. I love working with kids and have a background as a lifeguard and swim instructor, so safety is always a top priority. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and enjoy creating a fun, caring, and safe environment for children. I’m currently not looking for a full-time position, but I’m happy to help out on random days, date nights, or whenever families need extra support to fill gaps in my schedule!

I am a 18 year old senior in high school. I have always had a passion with children, and love working with them. I have always been very involved with my church’s children’s programs ranging in ages. I have also recently been expanding my experience by nannying a 3 month old and soon to be experienced in special needs care. I love being a sitter because it gives me the chance to care for others and make a positive difference in their day. I enjoy building trust with families, creating a safe and fun environment, and knowing that parents feel at ease when their loved ones are in my care. Being a sitter is rewarding because it allows me to be responsible, patient, and supportive while doing something I truly enjoy.

I am currently a college student who truly enjoys babysitting because it allows me to support parents by giving them peace of mind when they need time away. Knowing that parents can trust me with their children means a lot, and I value the opportunity to build strong, positive bonds not only with the kids but also with their parents. Babysitting has also strengthened my patience and my ability to multitask, as caring for children often requires balancing responsibilities, staying attentive, and remaining calm in different situations. These experiences have helped me grow both personally and professionally.
