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 Alexis, and I truly enjoy caring for children and helping families feel supported. I have experience watching up to three children at once between ages 2–5, and I’ve also helped raise my nephew since he was just 2 months old. Because of this, I’m very comfortable with routines, meal prep, playtime, and keeping little ones entertained and safe. I’m patient, reliable, and great at multitasking. I’m also happy to help with light house chores while caring for the kids so you can come home to a calmer space. My goal is to provide a warm, safe, and fun environment for your children while giving parents peace of mind. I’d love the chance to support your family.
