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.

I love helping families with their childcare needs. I have a 31-month-old daughter who I co-parent with her father. I can help out with meal prep, cleaning the house, washing dishes and laundry, running errands, taking kids to school, after-school tutoring, playdates, park activities, violin lessons, and many other fun activities. I have extensive tutoring experience with ages 6 to 18 in math, reading, English, science, French, Spanish, German, Latin, and computer science.

Gina Poulos 1098 Passover Rd Osage Beach, MO 65065 Unit A104 Hello, my name is Gina Poulos, and my passion is helping children and families. Ever since I was a kid myself, I have been working with children of all ages and backgrounds. For over 15 years, I have devoted my life to helping take care of children, and ensuring that they receive the safe, nurturing, attentive care that they deserve, and that you expect. I grew up in Illinois, where I spent many years babysitting and nannying. Now, for the past several years, I have been nannying in the Osage Beach / Lake of the Ozarks area, here in Missouri, and would love for my next nannying role to be in the same area. I have worked with children and families in numerous locations, have traveled with families to other states and countries, and have helped care for households of all sizes. I have worked with children ranging from infants to teens, and understand the importance of helping children grow, teaching them important skills, and making sure they feel supported. I have also worked with children with a variety of special needs, whether those needs are physical, emotional, or mental. Beyond childcare, my other duties cover everything from pet care, to cleaning, to purchasing groceries, to driving kids from place to place. No matter what you need help with, I will bring the same energy and positivity every day. As mentioned before, my number one passion is to help people. I am always eager to learn new skills, and to assist families in whatever way makes their lives as stress-free as possible. Over the years, I have worked with hundreds of different families, and hope to work with yours next! I appreciate you taking the time to consider me for this important role. Thank you!
