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.

I made Vermont my new home in 2023 and began my journey here as a Community Mental Health aid at Farm and Wilderness camps. Since then, I have transitioned into a full-time role as a Behavioral Interventionist, in the Intensive Special Needs department, at CVU High School. I finished my undergrad degree with a BS in Health and Wellness Promotion, which has led me to an array of positions working with children and teens in both mental and physical health settings. Some of my favorite being in outdoor/backcountry education, adventure-based therapy, and mentorship. I'm beginning a Master of Social Work (MSW) program next year, continuing my mission of providing support to youth and their families. Additionally, I've accrued over a decade of experience in babysitting and nannying. I bring to the table a range of crisis-intervention skills, CPR certification (2023), and Wilderness First Aid training (2023), ensuring the safety and well-being of those I care for. I am so excited to connect with your family!

I am a Registered Behavior Technician with a Master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis, bringing both clinical expertise and genuine warmth to my work with children. Over the past 5 years, I have worked with children on the autism spectrum across schools, homes, and clinical settings, giving me a well-rounded understanding of how to support kids in diverse environments and adapt to each child’s unique needs. In addition to my professional background, I have extensive experience nannying and babysitting, which has strengthened my ability to build genuine, trusting relationships with children of all ages and personalities. What sets me apart is my ability to connect with any child, regardless of their needs or temperament. I make it a priority to ensure every child feels valued, understood, and truly special during our time together. I take the time to learn each child’s individual interests and use that knowledge to create engaging, fun activities that also support their development and goals. Beyond childcare, I’m happy to help with pets and light housekeeping duties, making me a flexible, all-around support for busy families.
