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.

Hello, my name is Kimberly Doremus. My Profile says I am currently in Virginia, however I just moved to the Melbourne area! I would like to first thank you for taking the time to read my bio. I have been living in the SouthWest Virginia area for most of my life and am currently settling into the area! A little about me, I worked at a local daycare in Radford VA called Grace A Child, where I was the preschool teacher for two years. Some of the responsibilities I had as being the preschool teacher were potty training, lesson planning/ activities, evaluating children and communicating with families and providing a safe and comforting space for children. After leaving Grace A Child I began working at a childcare center in Blacksburg VA called Rainbow Riders with two year olds for close to two years where I started babysitting for about ten different families from weekend to weekend. I provided care for birthday party help, date nights, parents working on weekends and parents running errands with families of one to three children ranging from a year and a half to ten years old. Many families have said I do a great job at keeping their child safe, happy, calm and they looked forward to seeing me when I am scheduled to come care for them. I truly love caring for children and providing a safe comfortable space for them to explore the interests they have and grow self confidence in themselves. I enjoy doing crafts with children to help with expression and fine motor skills, dance parties and obstacle courses to help with gross motor skills, reading stories to help with language skills, dramatic play to help with social/ emotional skills and more. I am CPR and First Aid certified along with a handful of other certifications through Virginia that I can provide if needed along with references through families I have worked for. In my free time I enjoy paddle boarding with my dog, exploring new trails, spending time with my boyfriend of seven years and going to the beach. I hope to hear from you soon!

I am a 33 year old mother of 4, ages range from 2 years old to 12 years. I have 15 years of experience babysitting, nannying and caring for my own. I have no preference on gender/age of your kiddos as I have worked with all ages. I am located near I 81 and 460 intersect and am willing to travel up to 10-15 miles away from that point. I am able to watch in your home or mine. I do have a medium size dog, just in case there's allergies, (who does live in my home.) I am openly seeking part or full time and am hoping I can help make your families lives a little easier by caring for and loving your Littles. I love to be creative and surprise kiddos with puzzles or coloring books and am always bringing unique projects to entertain and educate. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or comments! I look forward to hearing from you!
