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.

I love babysitting because of two reasons, the first of which being that I love kids. The second is that I want people to feel safe with the person they leave their kids with, and I want to be able to be that person. I can clean, cook, care for pets, and drive (carefully). I can perform CPR but am no longer certified (I was in high school). Please let me know if you all need anything!

Hello! My name is Shannon and I have been a baby and pet sitter for quite some time, starting in my later years of high school around 2017. Then, I studied teaching English and graduated from Georgia State University back in 2022. Since then, I’ve gotten several baby sitting positions, like through sittertree and neighbors around the metro Atlanta area. I also worked as a pet sitter/house caretaker for over a year with K-9 and Katnip. So, overall, I have about 5-6 years of experience in teaching and childcare. I love working with kids and animals and would be delighted to have an opportunity to help take care of your babies (human or fur, haha)! Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or comment/concerns. I’m looking forward to working with you all and showing Athens area what I have to offer.

Hi! My name is Emily, I’m 22 years old, and I have several years of hands-on childcare experience. I previously worked in a Montessori classroom with children ages 1–3, where I supported early learning, independence, and emotional development in a structured but nurturing environment. In addition to my Montessori experience, I’ve worked as both a babysitter and a nanny, caring for children of different ages. I’m comfortable with routines, meal prep, light housekeeping, bedtime schedules, diaper changing, and creating engaging, age-appropriate activities. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy helping children grow and feel safe. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your child, and I strive to provide a calm, dependable presence for both parents and kids. I would love to support your family!
