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! I’m a former teacher, Sunday School teacher, babysitter, and nanny. I LOVE kids and will always take care of them as I do my own child. I typically charge $10/hour and $5 extra for each additional child. I am retired military, so I have post access. I do ask that you provide me with any specific info to ensure your child remains safe - ex. allergies, triggers, and emergency contact info. Thank you for considering me to take care of your little ones while you’re away!

I am an online college student who has always had a passion for working with children. Growing up I remember taking care of my little siblings and began babysitting around the age from 8-10 year old! Childcare is the main working experience I have. I have babysat kids from ages of 8 months to 15 year teens! After graduating high school I worked in a daycare facility for over half a year with the ages of newborns to 4 year old children. I adore witnessing children develop as they get older and seeing what their little personalities come to be. I would love to help you take care of this growing little humans!
