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 Lisa,I have been working with children for over 20 years, 15 as a full time private nanny. I am CPR and first aid certified, have taken many early childhood education college courses (CDA), and have a clean driving record. I am also fully vaccinated. I am married without children of my own, so I can be very flexible with my schedule as long as it's full time. I have worked in Caledonia, St. Charles, Wilmette Palatine,Wheeling,Arlington Heights, and currently in Inverness. I have fantastic references from many former employers (as their full time nanny) who can assure you that I am never late, always early. Being a nanny is not just a job to me,it's my career,and I take that responsibility seriously. I enjoy working closely with parents to provide the best care possible for their children. My goals are to meet the physical, emotional, educational, and social needs for the children to thrive and be happy. I love indoor play (art projects, pretend play,dancing,ect.) And activities outside of the home. Parks,library,classes,Gymborree, and any other activities that sound fun and/or educational. I have a lot of experience, and I'm game for pretty much anything! I have experience with ages 2 months to 12 years, and that includes watching siblings of different ages. The family that I am currently working for has twins. My 3rd set of twins! I have been with this family for almost 5 years and the girls are going off to full time school in August. I have always had a commute to work, which I'm fine with. I have never chosen a family to work for based upon where they live. I am fortunate that I have always followed my instincts and chosen to work for families who I, and the families,believe is the perfect fit. I would love the opportunity to chat and hear more about your family and share more about myself with you! Thank you for your time, Lisa Feel free to call me at 630-779-1431
