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 names Makayla, and i live in Tyler, Tx I am 20 years. I’ve had a steady job with a baby that’s grown from 1 month old to 5 years old but i’m not able to work the same hours as she is now starting school. I have six years experience ranging from toddlers to teens. My experience as a nanny has been very rewarding. I have had the opportunity to care for children of various ages and backgrounds, each with their own unique personalities and needs. Building a strong rapport with the children and their families has been a key aspect of my role as a nanny, as it has allowed me to provide the best possible care and support. Through activities such as helping with cooking family meals, homework, engaging in creative play, and providing emotional support.

Hello! My name is Madilynn, but please just call me Madi. I recently moved back to the East Texas area after living in the Austin/San Antonio area for two years. I am in college working towards a degree in nursing and hopefully advance my studies to become a certified midwife. I have an extensive background in childcare in many different settings. I am the oldest out of three girls, making me the live in baby sitter. While in high school I spent much of my time watching children for parent date nights, summer weekdays, and overnight care. After high school, my first job was at a Christian based daycare working in the preschool rooms (4-5-year-old's) . From there I moved to San Marcos and began a job at Kids R Kids in New Braunfels where I really found my love for the infant room (6 weeks-6 months). Since then I continue to babysit for many of the children who were in my class. I look forward to talking with you and potentially meeting your little one.
