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.

Hello! My name is Cassie and I would like you to consider me as your babysitter for any weekend or date nights you need someone for. I have been babysitting since I was 13 for a number of family friends and my own family- including my younger brother. While in highschool- I worked for my school's summer youth program which consisted of supervising the children of the community, taking them on trips, and conducting fun activities for them to participate in. Most importantly, I love children and hope to have one of my own in the next few years. I have a very big family and constantly have a little one in my hands. I am available evenings and weekends.

I am a 64 yr. old mom and grandma. I was a home daycare provider when my kids were little and was a teacher's aide at a preschool for 4 yrs. I was also a Compeer volunteer until the child moved away. My grandchildren live in NC and I really miss not having them close by. I would love to care for your little one's on a part time basis. I have references I can provide from the parents of the children I cared for and the teacher I worked with at the preschool. I live in Scottsville and I am available to babysit in Chili, Churchville, Henrietta and Brighton. Thank you for your consideration. Patrice
