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’ve been babysitting since I was around 11-12 years old and I am now 18 I first started with neighborhood kids, and I’ve never turned down the chance to babysit because I love spending time with children. I’ve babysat two kids on my own, including preparing meals, changing diapers, helping with potty training, and getting them to bed. I also care for my young nephew regularly and work with special education students at school, including kids with autism. I’m patient, reliable, and great at following routines, making sure kids feel safe, supported, and have fun.

Hello! My name is Lola Levin. I am an 18 year old student at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. I am studying Family Social Science B.S. with an intended minor in Family Violence Prevention. In Wisconsin, I have been a full-time nanny to healthy children ages 0–9, as well as medically complex infants who are G-tube and oxygen dependent. I am looking for part-time babysitting positions in the Minneapolis area. I truly love providing a safe and nurturing environment where children know they can be themselves, be curious, ask questions, and have their needs met. With a background in healthcare as a certified EMT in Wisconsin, CNA/caregiver, NICU/PICU volunteer and researcher, lifeguard, and aspiring mental health therapist, I am especially interested in the health and well-being of children. I educate myself on topics like childhood nutrition, including which meals and snacks best support development, infant nutrition and feeding positions (I have experience preparing formula, breastmilk, and tube feeds for infants), and overall healthy childhood development. I look forward to meeting your family. I do not have a vehicle on campus, so I rely on my bicycle, public transportation, and walking. I will not be able to transport your child, but I have extensively researched car seat safety. I have ample evening availability, though I am not looking for a full-time nanny position, as I have classes during the day.
