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 love caring for children of all ages! As the middle child of seven siblings, I’ve grown up with lots of hands-on childcare experience. I began babysitting two boys when they were 7 and 9 and still care for them today at ages 9 and 11 as needed. I’m CPR certified, trained in Stop the Bleed, and have an Associate of Science degree. This fall, I’ll be attending East Texas A&M University to pursue my nursing degree. I’m responsible, caring, and passionate about creating a safe and fun environment for every child I care for!

Hello my name is Savannah and I have two wonderful children of my own, one 13 and the other 15. My love for children started when I was very young. But the first that I can remember was when I was twelve years old and I received my First Aid and CPR certificates. I then landed my first babysitting job which consisted of 5 children, ages ranged from one to eight years old. I knew then that being a part of children’s growth and development was a very rewarding. I’ve worked at Arms of Hope daycare with infants, toddlers and children up to 13 years old for three years. I then started to nanny two families in Greenville, one an infant and the other two and four. I performed tasks such as cleaning, cooking, meal prepping, homework and potty training. I’ve believe that children need nurturing, consistencies and guidance to develop their personalties.

Hi, I’m Katelyn — a proud mom of two energetic boys (5 and 7) and the oldest sibling in a big family of eight. When my triplet brothers were born during my early teens, childcare became part of my daily life. I learned how to juggle schedules, soothe babies, help with homework, and keep a busy household running smoothly. I started paid babysitting soon after and have continued caring for children for families I know and trust.Now that I’m ready to step back from my corporate career, I’m choosing to follow my heart and work directly with kids again. I love creating a warm, structured environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn and play. Whether it’s helping with routines, preparing meals, or keeping kids entertained, I bring patience, reliability, and genuine care to every family I work with
