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.

As an experienced teacher, I have developed a passion and personal commitment to helping young children succeed. I feel that my background as an educator would be a perfect fit for this job. In my most recent position I was a nanny for 3 boys and would still be with them, but the family relocated to another state. My teaching method is dedicated to foster a positive learning environment , maximizing all children's individual needs. The accomplishment I'm proud of is working and nurturing children with special needs. I am confident that my experience and background will be a great fit for this position. Thank you

Hello Child Care Professionals and Parents! My name is Kathleen Cardinal. As of this August, I will be a Hampstead resident relocating to your beautiful coastal area enthusiastic to share my preschool teaching aid and toddler day care experince. I am eager to transfer my teacher aid work specifically focussing on Montessori, Toddler, and Pre-K classrooms to a more intimate in-home Nanny/Sitter role. I also bring a unique background as interior designer and mother of three adult children, which I use to help structure calm, learning and play environments for the children. I enjoy tapping into the child's curiousity and supporting a healthy home-life for the family. I am an active adult that enjoys all sorts of activities with children and have been recognized as someone they gravitate toward, perhaps as a young minded grandmom that wants to share their smiles and laughter. Happy to share my detailed resume at your request.
