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 am a fun, responsible nanny with over 20 years experience in daycare, preschool, and elementary school classrooms with letters of recommendation for your review and excellent references. My goal is to make learning fun while addressing the best way to teach each child in accordance to their learning style. I also teach English as a second language. I like to create variation in activities such as reading, painting, drawing, storytelling, games, dance instruction, as well as outdoor activities. I like to make activities such as clean up time fun times and incorporate social, problem solving, and academic "teachable moments" throughout the day. I teach positive communication, coping strategies, problem solving skills and socialization and role-model these traits with respect, consideration, patience and compassion.

Hello, I’m Chelsea! I’m new to Albuquerque, but living in NM for about three years now. I’ve worked in a k-8 school in my hometown for some years. I’ve also got at least ten years experience of caring for children ages 6months-10years at home. I have worked with families navigating potty training, sleep regression, preschool transitions, learning disabilities, tutoring, managing manners and tantrums, and all sorts of other challenges that comes with growing kids. I also have a handful of personal experience dealing with home hospice care, so I’m familiar with things like taking medications regularly, bathing, and administering other forms of treatment. Childcare and development has always been a passion of mine, and I’m happy to incorporate tutoring sessions, or just fun learning activities during my time with your children. I’m very comfortable with all animals, it would be an honor to care for yours as well! I can cook and clean, and generally help you keep house. My schedule, pay, and abilities are very flexible. Im here to make YOUR life easier! Let’s see if we can work something out?
