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 the oldest child on my moms side. I helped her take care of my two little brothers due to her being a single mother. As the youngest on my dads side, I have 3 nephews and 2 nieces. I have had my fair share of babysitting. Also, in high school I volunteered at the on campus daycare for two years and I loved every minute of it. Willing to learn, reach and have fun. Also willing to do house work if needed.

I was raised in a home where my mother ran a daycare for infants & preschoolers. While in college, I worked in the infant room at a hospital's child care. I simply loved raising my own three beautiful children. They are now grown and are my pride and joy. Several neighborhood children have been in my care over the years. For 4 years I took the newborn photos at St Joseph's hospital, then a few more years I worked Front Office in St Joe's NICU. I've nannied consistently now for 13 years, for so so many wonderful families both FT & PT in their homes. I've fully enjoyed watching each of their newborns & toddlers grow into bright preschoolers. Currently I Nanny for twin boys who will be starting Kindergarten soon. I'm seeking a family in Fayetteville, Manlius or Cazenovia. I'm comfortable with newborns toddlers & preschoolers, family pets, cooking, laundry, errands & light housekeeping - but babies' needs always come first. Here's to your happy healthy family!
