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 Briana but I go by Bri. I’m 19 soon to 20! Ive lived in Kountze for the past decade. I’ve always loved caring for kids since I was little myself. Growing up I even looked after my siblings. Kids are the light of my life and I can’t wait to have my own one day. I’ve been a teachers aid when I was in high school for about 2 years. Just recently I worked at a day care, MET head start, for over a year and I loved every experience I had there. Working at MET Head Start I was paid for looking after 17 toddlers in a classroom with one other teacher. I cleaned up after the kids, whether it was after mealtimes, or playtime, or just a random mess because we all know kids make many messes a day. Especially 17 of them. Before I became a teacher there I was a relief worker. I would substitute a teacher that was absent or maintained the building cleanliness. I can clean just about anything in a house or simple building. Being a relief worker I also took a part in the kitchen so I can also prepare meals and snacks. My experience working with kids has been a great opportunity for me. And I’d love to continue putting smiles on kids faces.
