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.

I’ve always enjoy being around children and I’m most comfortable with children ( I’m a kid inside but a responsible one) I have two incredible boys of my own and they are my world and everything. It was my first job of being a babysitter/nanny and it’s the most fun happy and fulfilling of all the jobs I’ve done. I just love love love being a mom and a care giver to my kids and to all children. I love kid’s stories they tell, watching them do all the silly/ very cray cray things they do and just keeping them safe and healthy it comes naturally to me and I love it. I just would like to make extra cash for my kids while they are in school and I secretly miss my own kids while they are in school and children just brings that happiness and joy in me.
