A nanny is involved in all aspects of a child’s life. From their emotional wellbeing and social development to their educational growth and recreational life, a nanny partners to help raise the child. That partnership deepens the longer the placement. Day to day, a nanny also maintains the child’s immediate environment, including their feedings/meals, room, play areas, bathroom, clothing, toys and belongings. They may even be in charge of their calendar and scheduling their medical appointments, hair cuts and classes.
A babysitter’s role is different by design. Because babysitters serve on a temporary basis, their focus is on supervising, engaging, and playing with the children in the moment rather than the longer arc of their development. They are responsible for feeding the children in their care and cleaning up after meals and lay.
