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’m a 1st year college student majoring in secondary education, and I’ve been taking care of kids for well over 10 years. I took a college-level teaching course in my senior year of high school where I worked a couple months as a teacher's assistant as Adams Elementary in Yakima where I also learned critical child development knowledge. My mom had a home-based daycare for 20+ years, so I grew up learning how to care for kids of all ages, particularly toddlers. I am CPR and First Aid certified with a Food Handlers certification if any meal prep is needed. I am also experienced with pet care (cats, dogs, birds) as my family has had a lot of pets. I am skilled at conflict resolution, diaper changes, meal prep, house cleaning (if needed), safe sleep strategies, emotional intelligence, entertainment, and empathy.

I’ve always loved taking care of my younger cousins and have done a great job at it so I started to do it as a career. I feel like working with kids always keeps my inner child alive because they have so much wonder and imagination. As I’ve said I’ve taken care of my younger cousins and have been since I was about three years old, I also have professional experience with caring for kids and have been told I do an amazing job and connect with the kids so well. I have my official certificate of first aid and cpr. I am willing to do housework, cook, help with homework or basically anything that you need me to do.
