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!

Hi! My name is Haylieana, and I’m a caring, responsible, and patient childcare provider who genuinely loves working with children. I have experience working with infants, toddlers, young children as well as older in a classroom setting, and I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and comfortable environment where children can learn, play, and be themselves. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident when leaving their children with someone, so I always do my best to provide dependable and attentive care. I’m comfortable helping with meals, playtime, bedtime routines, diapering, and keeping children engaged with age-appropriate activities. I love doing crafts, reading books, playing games, and finding fun ways to keep little ones entertained. I’m also happy to follow your child’s normal routines and any instructions you have for their care. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide your little ones with the same kindness, patience, and care I do for my own little family!!
