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.

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them.

I have strong skills in responsibility, patience, and communication. I’m good at managing routines, keeping children entertained, and handling emergencies calmly. I’m also fluent in Spanish, which allows me to communicate with children and families who speak Spanish.

Recently relocated to the Goldsboro, North Carolina area. I am 29 years old with a passion for children. In 2017, I graduated from James Madison University with a Bachelor's of Science in Health Sciences. I am a full time intensive in home counselor, QMHPC (qualified mental health professional)for at risk youth who have mental health and/or behavioral challenges. At the start of COVID, as a chance to supplement my income, I was given the opportunity to work for myself providing quality childcare as an independent contractor through a mommy concierge company called Moms Need Help Too, LLC. I particularly enjoy working with the elderly, young adults, children and infants. I have been babysitting for as long as I can remember, since about age 12. I enjoy providing children with extra tlc, because they are truly little blessings - they teach us new things everyday as well as the power of patience. I’ve provided care for children of all age ranges, from infants to preteens. I like seeing children learn and grow, therefore instead of sticking them in front of a television I enjoy educational interactions to include: reading and number games, coloring spelling and matching. Infants touch another part of my heart. I enjoy attending church, reading, shopping and partaking in thought invoking conversations in my free time. I am determined to make an impact in the world around me. One day I aspire to continue on to nursing school to earn a professional nursing degree, most likely an RN degree then working my way to specialize in pediatrics. In the meantime, I absolutely love what I do, helping and serving families. I have a current CPR/AED certification and a clean background check, which I provide when meeting potential clients. Please contact me at 540. 560. 8091 directly if you would like. I have been informed these online sitter platforms make their patrons pay for messages/call.
