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 was raised in a home where my mother ran a daycare for infants & preschoolers. While in college, I worked in the infant room at a hospital's child care. I simply loved raising my own three beautiful children. They are now grown and are my pride and joy. Several neighborhood children have been in my care over the years. For 4 years I took the newborn photos at St Joseph's hospital, then a few more years I worked Front Office in St Joe's NICU. I've nannied consistently now for 13 years, for so so many wonderful families both FT & PT in their homes. I've fully enjoyed watching each of their newborns & toddlers grow into bright preschoolers. Currently I Nanny for twin boys who will be starting Kindergarten soon. I'm seeking a family in Fayetteville, Manlius or Cazenovia. I'm comfortable with newborns toddlers & preschoolers, family pets, cooking, laundry, errands & light housekeeping - but babies' needs always come first. Here's to your happy healthy family!
