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.

Hello,my name is Maria Gabrielle Cortez. I am a High School Graduate and will be attending cosmetology school soon. I'm very athletic and love being outside. I am 18 years of age and have been babysitting for about a year and a half for family, and family friends. Responsibilities I have performed while babysitting are ,feeding , changing diapers, cleaning up after spills and messes, and changing him/her for the day. I love playing with children outside and just letting them have some free fun time. Also if one may contain a pool and your child/children enjoy swimming throughout the day, I am a strong swimmer and am capable of swimming with another body if worse comes to worse. I love caring for children and figuring out his/her unique personalities. Thank you for your interest in me and hope to here from you soon! Have a great day!

Hello, I’m new to this app :). I love being a sitter because caring for people, especially kids, has always come naturally to me. I grew up helping raise my sister and cousins, and that experience really shaped my passion for supporting families and creating a safe, positive environment for children. Professionally, I’ve worked as a medic in inpatient pediatrics, which has given me hands-on experience with children of all ages and needs. I’m also a licensed EMT with hospital and clinic experience, and I maintain CPR and BLS certifications, so parents can feel confident knowing their little ones are in capable, compassionate hands.
