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 name is Brenna. I am 27 years old and happily married. I am a certified speech-language pathologist with experience in pediatrics and adult populations. I also have experience working with children from 6 weeks old and up. I absolutely love working with children and I highly value play-based learning over screen time to enhance adequate growth and development. I am extremely responsible and I can provide additional services include help with meal prep, laundry, housekeeping, pet care, etc. I am looking to slow down in my personal life and take a step back from clinical work. I would still love to work with children in a different role, utilizing my gifts and talents, as well as my knowledge from my educational background.
