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 am new to Midland. I moved here to NC, 2018, to Midland in 2021. I moved from Clarksville, TN. I watched numerous children in 10 years I was there. Most children that I sat for were Military children. I lived right down the road from Ft.Campbell, KY. The children became members of my family as well as I became members of theirs. We went on outings, to the park for little picnics, amusement park, Chuckie Cheese, shopping, and even out for ice cream or down to Sonic for happy hour. I never took them anywhere that I did not get approval from their parents. I have played cars, robots, dolls, coloring, any arts and crafts, we watched movies, read. All my kids were special, and still are. I miss them and still stay in touch with them all. I have plenty of references, so please contact me if I can help you in anyway.

I enjoy watching children of all ages! I prefer 1 - 2 children because I believe affection and quality time is necessary for a child growing. I am confident in being on time for pickups and drop offs, helping with homework, preparing meals, studying, making sure bed times are achieved and other parental requests are needed. I am very flexible in the evenings and weekends so last minute scheduling is okay. My response time is usually less then an hour. I hope to work with one or two great families that will enjoy having me around! I am a people person and love learning as well as sharing my knowledge. In my spare time I enjoy doing outdoor activities, baking, reading, and watching shows. I am a homebody. Very friendly, reserved, always ready to lean a helping hand, organized, great communicator, efficient, and caring. I hope to meet you soon!
