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 have lived in Campton/Thornton for over 40 years now, and I am a proud mother of 2 amazing adult children. I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old which lead me to make the decision get my degree in Early Childhood Education after high school. In college I became a nanny to a wonderful family in Boston before I graduated and headed back to NH. My degree and my passion for working with children has helped me get a job at 2 different day care centers, become a full time sitter for a family for over a year until they sent her to school, become a paraprofessional at a local elementary school, a substitute teacher, and finally working a successful after school program where we offer a mentorship program as well. Currently I am providing care as needed for families when I am available but I am always open to considering something more permanent. Families have told me that I am a natural with children and I pride myself in that. I am kind, patient and fun. My dependability and honesty speak for themselves! I can provide references, I have background checks on file from prior jobs, I have a safe, reliable and fully insured vehicle and I am easy to communicate with for all your needs or concerns. I can provide light cleaning, meal preparation, homework help, arts and crafts, adventures outside, story time, and more. I Can't wait to chat with you to see if I am the right fit for your family!
