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.

My wife and I were houseparents at Tennessee Baptist Children's Home in Brentwood, Tennessee from 01/01/1992 - 04/15/1996 where we cared for up to 8 children (male & female) plus our 2 kids. From there we went to Youthtown in PInson, Tennessee where we covered the girl cottage from 04/15/1996 - 07/01/1996. I have been babysitting since my sister was born when I was 9 years old. I have been primary babysitter in my family for over 40 years and one of the few people my niece (by marriage) trusted to watch her 3 daughters who are now 19, 20, & 23. The 23 year old (my great-niece) has a 3 year old son (named after me) and a 6 week old son that I babysit pretty often; I am the only person that has kept the 6 week old, starting when he was 3 weeks old. Another niece had 4 stepdaughters (sisters) ages 7 - 16 that I kept several times (including overnight. I have a lot of references and have recently signed up to work with "Birth Choice" at no pay...awaiting background and reference checks.

I love being a sitter because I love seeing the babies/children little smiling faces! Most experiences I have with babysitting children are unpaid however worth every moment so I decided it is time to take it up a little and make a career or life changing purpose regarding it.
