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.

Greetings! :) My name is Nicoletta (although most kids like to call me Ms. Maes!) and I truly believe that childcare is my calling! My mother actually ran her own in home childcare business and it definitely runs in the family! After many years of nannying, becoming a school paraprofessional and earning my masters degree in elementary education, I taught for three years while also running after school programming. Although I enjoyed and learned a lot from this experience, it also showed me how much I truly miss nannying! I am excited to get back into it and know that this experience as a classroom teacher has only strengthened my skills and love for this profession. As a nanny, I love to read, color, go to the park or museum, play outside in nature or play make believe! I also enjoy helping older kids with homework and working on project based learning activities! I really enjoy one on one time with kids and helping them blossom into the best human beings they can be! I am sincerely looking forward to finding a family who will welcome me into their homes and children's lives, as to me, it is definitely my purpose! Warmly, Nicoletta :)

I’m a creative, kind, and imaginative caregiver who enjoys arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, and bringing playfulness into everyday life. I love helping kids explore their interests, express their creativity, and have fun while feeling safe and cared for. I grew up babysitting my two younger brothers and began caring for family friends’ children at a young age. Since then, I’ve babysat and petsat for multiple families and built years of experience working with kids of all ages. I also spent five years working at a Family Fun Center, where I guided children and families through birthday parties, ensuring a safe, fun, and memorable experience. My background has given me the ability to connect with kids of different ages, abilities, and personalities—and to create a positive, engaging environment wherever I go.

about me . . . I have been working with children in different capacities for at least 40 years. I began by babysitting small children of the parents in our church. Approximately the same time I began volunteering in the Totally Mentally Handicapped classroom at the high school I attended. And no, they do not call it that any longer. We have come a long way in research, terminology, and especially teaching strategies since those days. I am sad about some of those changes and others I am extatic about. Since High School I have been to college several time while working and have become a mom to two children who are now grown. My studies in college were in Early Childhood Education, Special Education, and Applied Psychology. I managed an Associates degree out of all that! Whew! Some of the jobs I have held are : - Stay at home mom - Childcare Teacher - Childcare Assistant Director - Childcare Director - Respite Care Provider ) both with a non-profit and as a self employed Individual -ABA therapist - Substitute Teacher - Public School Teachers Assistant - public School SPED Teachers Assistant - Home Healthcare worker - Lyft Driver - Nanny If you have questions feel free to call or text at 843-990-3414
