Q: What’s the difference between a babysitter and a nanny?

Babysitters and nannies share the same primary responsibility of providing safe and enriching care for your child, but there are a few differences between them. Babysitters are typically hired for occasional work on an irregular schedule. If you’re looking for last-minute care for date night, or the occasional few hours after school, a babysitter is a great option. Nannies, on the other hand, 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. 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 babysitters interact with my child?

Babysitters 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.

My work history includes seven years as a server, two years as a chiropractic assistant and receptionist, and a year as a front desk receptionist at a resort. I left my most recent position to care for my elderly father before he moved to assisted living. Now, I’m looking to support busy families and bring my skills and compassion to childcare. A few more things about me: - Completed an Introduction to Childcare course at Chattahoochee College - Currently pursuing CPR/First Aid certification - Skilled at cooking healthy meals, keeping spaces clean and organized, and happy to help with homework and light housekeeping - Comfortable with pets - Have my own reliable transportation I always work hard, believe in the work I do, and bring a positive attitude wherever I go.
