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! My name is Carlin Stone, and I am searching for a full time nanny position! I have experience as a Toddler Teacher in a daycare setting, along with 1 year of service working privately for a family. Being a nanny and working with children in general is the most rewarding job you can have. It is so fun to help them learn and grow, and see them form into themselves! At my daycare job i completed tons of training with early childhood development, and I cared for 6 toddlers on my own. My nanny job has consisted of caring for four children between the ages of two years old to 12 years old. I have done transportation, activities, helping with light house work, prepared meals, and keeping the kids on track with homework and chores. It truly takes a village to raise children and I would be so happy to be a part of yours.
