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 currently work with children with disabilities. I work with kids with mental and physical disabilities. I have worked there for over 2 years, I have been around children my whole life. I am very comfortable with situations with people may find challenging or difficult. I do very well under pressure and have learned when is the time to step in to help and when it best for them to problem solve. Through my job I have learned how to deal with seizures, and simple rescue procedures. I have also worked with children who can be physical, and the best ways to handle situations. I am very patient, I have learned new ways to communicate with people. Through sign language, a talker or through body language. I am always learning new ways to handle situations and how to become better.

Being a nanny has always been more than a job for me — it’s something I genuinely love. I have 7 years of paid childcare experience, along with current CPR and AED certifications. I’m naturally patient, nurturing, and steady under pressure, and I truly adore helping children grow, feel understood, and explore their world with confidence. I show up with reliability, kindness, and the kind of calm energy that helps little ones feel safe and supported. I’d love the chance to be part of a family who values gentle care and open communication.
