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. Wherever your child's interests lie, babysitters on Sittercity are prepared to engage them in a nurturing way.

I am a mother of 2 and I have 4 grandchildren. My family means the world to me so I understand the importance of having a trustworthy, loving sitter to care for your precious child(ren). Every child is a special gift from God. I love to play games, do crafts, and take the time to teach them something new whenever an opportunity arises. Most of all, I love HUGS! As a grandmother and a daycare provider at church for over 6 years, I have found that caring for children is what I love most. I would love an opportunity to provide the loving care your child(ren) needs when you're not there. I live in Adairsville. My current daytime family of 4 years is moving away so I'll be available after August 1st. I am also available for date nights and weekends.

I’m currently attending Dalton State College for criminal justice and hoping to graduate with a bachelor’s degree. As I do currently work for a family on weekdays, I’m only available on weekends or week-nights. I love working with kids of all ages! I have experience with the stages of elementary school aged children. I enjoy creating fun activities for kids, reading to them, making them meals, taking them to events, light housekeeping and so much more. I love to watch children grown and develop in their own ways. I like to get to know the children i’m working with for a better understanding of their personalities to better suit their needs! I’m excited to hear from you!
