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.

Q: How do nannies interact with my child?

Nannies on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art. Wherever your child's interests lie, nannies on Sittercity can engage them in a nurturing way.

I've been a caregiver for over 10 years. And after much exerience, including the classes I've taken in early childhood, I can honestly say it has been one rollercoaster of experiences for me. I go from ages 3 months all the way to 12 years of age. I don't ever let a child out of my sight because I'm very cautious. But I do activities as well. I do indoor and outdoor play, dramatic play, board games, and games they like to play. For infancy I understand both different feeding methods and tummy time exercises. I encourage reading very much and offer tutoring for any subject if needed for older children. I have my own vehicle ana When it comes to responsibility I cook, do homework help, and do cleaning, because I hate leaving a house messy. I can stay late to watch a child if needed. I'm also CPR and first aid licensed. So I know what to do in an emergency dealing with the child's health. I am a retired child care teacher and is going back into childcare for families.

I am 22 years old and married to a soldier which is why I am at Fort Hood. I'm from Kentucky (around the Fort Knox area). We don't have kids but we do have 3 dogs. Not allergic to animals. I'm available on short notice but I'd prefer at least a little notice. I have been babysitting for about 9 years or so. I have watched up to 5 kids at one time and they have ranged from a few months old to 12 years old. I'm able to do light house keeping if needed. Feel free to email me at anytim. I currently work at Abrams Gym but it is part time and I am getting very few hours but mainly work in the mornings. No later than 12:30pm. I am CPR and first aid certified. My profile says $6-10 an hour but I always work with families to find a reasonable pay.
