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 Temi. I believe that it takes a village to raise a child, but I also understand that not everyone has that village due to time, distance, or other constraints. That’s why I love babysitting, I see it as a way to support families in the best way I can. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and take my role very seriously, ensuring they are safe, engaged, and cared for. With my experience and passion, I strive to create a fun and nurturing environment for every child I look after. In addition to childcare, I can also prepare a variety of meals for meal preps, making it easier for busy families to have home-cooked meals. Feel free to contact me for any other questions!
