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 Hope, a little about me i am only very low level special needs and a learning disability, but that does not keep me from loving on children and babies. I have taken care of my niece is a nephews for many years since they were babies. I do not have CPR or frist AID training, but I will definitely look out for your kids and their safety. I will play with them and let them have a childlike imagination. Loving on children is the greatest feeling. I do know how to change a diaper, feed them, put down for her nap, bath them. Also I could do some lighthouse keeping and any meal preparations.
