Q: How do families hire trustworthy child care providers in {{city}}, {{state}}?

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 lived in Campton/Thornton for over 40 years now, and I am a proud mother of 2 amazing adult children. I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old which lead me to make the decision get my degree in Early Childhood Education after high school. In college I became a nanny to a wonderful family in Boston before I graduated and headed back to NH. My degree and my passion for working with children has helped me get a job at 2 different day care centers, become a full time sitter for a family for over a year until they sent her to school, become a paraprofessional at a local elementary school, a substitute teacher, and finally working a successful after school program where we offer a mentorship program as well. Currently I am providing care as needed for families when I am available but I am always open to considering something more permanent. Families have told me that I am a natural with children and I pride myself in that. I am kind, patient and fun. My dependability and honesty speak for themselves! I can provide references, I have background checks on file from prior jobs, I have a safe, reliable and fully insured vehicle and I am easy to communicate with for all your needs or concerns. I can provide light cleaning, meal preparation, homework help, arts and crafts, adventures outside, story time, and more. I Can't wait to chat with you to see if I am the right fit for your family!

Growing up in a big family, I always took care of the younger kids when the adults were busy. I would major in Education if I could go back! I connect easily to children and I would like to think I am creative and engaging for them to play with and be around! I'm currently in college, so looking for work when parents want a date night! My sisters with a 10+ age gap have taught me a lot about children and the importance of their developing minds. I can cook simple kid approved meals, I clean, and I have my license for any birthday parties or practices they need a lift to!
