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 have been babysitting since I was 13, and I have a much younger brother who I got to watch often growing up. I love hanging out with and entertaining kids, especially if it means helping out stressed families. Being an education major, I have experience with child development, and I love doing educational activities with kids!

Hi! I’m Maddie, a caring and dependable babysitter with 4 years of experience working with children from 11 months to 12 years old. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I’ve spent time working in daycares, as well as with large families, so I’m comfortable balancing different ages and personalities. I love creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment, whether that means cooking meals, helping with homework, handling bedtime routines, or keeping little ones engaged with activities. My goal is to make parents feel at ease and give kids the attention and care they deserve. I’d love the chance to support your family!

I like taking care of kids from all ages and will also be completely fine with also taking care of pets as well (free of charge) and will also provide house cleaning services. I can do anything from taking the kids to appointments/ practices or even just going to the park to get out of the house. Thank you!

Hi my name is Grace Harrison and I am 24 years old. I have been doing all kind of childcare sense I was 12 years old. I was raised on a cattle ranch in Laporte Colorado. I lived in Laramie a few years ago and missed it so much I decided to come back! This time I have my pup with me who's my little/big sidekick. I have worked in good and bad daycares with overflowig classrooms, mixed ratios or ages, and covid, but I have always worked with amazing kids no matter what kind of daycare it was. I have been an infant teacher more than anything, then 2-3's would be second most worked with age group, then pre-school, then elementry, then teens. I have nannied almost every summer for families near and far to me in Laporte. My current job is nannying a family of 3 kiddos who I adore. The girl is 3, one boy is 5, and the oldest boy is 7. We spend as much time outside as we can and as requested by their parents. This summer some of our activities included swimming at lakes or rivers, biking, fishing, going to the fish hatchery, many playground visits, jumping on the tramp, and even some hiking. We conquered sick days, nap times, potty training, tantrums, sports, and even school pick ups. I have nannied about 4 families in the last 10 years and I love being able to be any kind of part of great kids lives as they grow up. I have been certified CPR anf FirstAid but not at the moment. I can and will get re-certified if needed. I hope you will consider me for this adventure with your children:) Thanks!
