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.

.......Hello, my name is Christine & I grew up in a small coal-mining town in Cambria County & am a 'Coal-Miner's' Daughter so-to-speak. That also makes me a big ~ Steelers’ Fan ~…. Although I started out very young watching kids, I was very responsible, dependable, flexible & reliable. Even though I do not have children of my own (♥...Wished I had...♥), it’s just so gratifying for me to be able to mentor your children while you are at work, which brings a 'smile' to my face. As far as ‘my’ family goes, I am the oldest of 4 siblings. I have 2 sisters who are RN’s at the VA Hospital & also a brother, retired Air Force Recruiter, who lives in Largo, Fl. My parents have been married 56 years & going strong, so I was fortunate enough to be raised in such a very close, loving family. What I’ve learned growing up, carries with me forever, which gives me the opportunity to guide & nurture your kids. Also, I do have nieces & nephews that always tell me that I'm a REALLY HIP AUNTIE.... which make me happy. Despite my age, I'm a kid at ♥ HEART ♥....I think that's why I interact so well kids of all ages. I have a ‘likable’ personality & a warm, genuine soul. I can offer assistance with anything ‘within reason’ with your children. Some of my skills include cooking, sewing, light housework, pet sitting/care, etc. I’m pretty flexible with scheduling, & can be available weekends as well; however, that’s something to be discussed should the need arise. My CPR/FIRST AID is current & Expires in November 2017. I can provide extra references upon request, so you would feel more comfortable & at ease an also open to trial periods, which would give both you & I, and your children, a chance to see if there’s chemistry & likability. Finally, if you’d like to reach me, please by all means, send me a message. I would be honored to be given the chance to become a ‘small’ part of your family by making sure they are safe, just as you would. You may email me: creativechris2011@gmail.com or call/text: 717-579-5660.
