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 cpr, first aide, a choking class , a defensive driving class and clearances. If you want a loving, caring, dependable sitter then please contact me at 570-220-7736.. I believe children should be on a schedule and using time out with a verbal warning first.. I enjoy teaching and reading with children, and exploring outdoors. I like to cook healthy meals and letting children help in the kitchen. I have two grown children. I like children to have fun while learning and that's what I strive for. I also believe children should have at least 30 mins. of outdoor play and should be taught to enjoy reading. My former employers will tell you that I am always on time and very reliable.
