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’m Ella I have always been the first one to go up and ask to hold a baby. I have a really big family and have always been surrounded by little kids. My biggest goal is to be someone you keep around for a long time so that way I can help and grow up with your children. I want to not only be a babysitter but a good friend to them. I am 18 and I’ve graduated from high school, I have done many years of cheer, and I’ve gotten to teach and help the little cheer teams. I use to watch my baby brother and my cousins. I am also currently working on getting CPR certified. I have also taken a child development class In high school. My mom is a doctor so I know a little bit of medical things without the training. I love animals as well, I took 4 years of veterinary classes in high school as well.
