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.

Needed a sitter for date night. I have two little girls ages 6 and 3. Before date night, we interviewed Daisia, she was very nice and had such a welcoming spirit/personality. Very down to earth and gentle. Date night went really well, we were running behind, but she still accommodated us and arrived early. I’m new to Sittercity, hiring Daisia was my first, but definitely will not be my last . This is very new to us and the girls and I thought I was going to be a nervous wreck, but my girls were so comfortable and open to her. She sent a picture, which gave me more of a peace of mind. She will be #1 pick. I highly recommend hiring her.

I’m AvaMarie and Im 24 years old and I have 5 year experience as a nanny and I’m looking to expand my experience more. I am currently living in the Huntsville AL area and looking to get back into the swing of things like I did in Illinois. I come from a big family so I’m very experienced when it comes to different age groups. I love to draw and color, im very big on nature and enjoying the fresh air. I am CPR/ First Aide certified. On my down time when I’m not a nanny you can catch me teaching swim lessons for children of all ages. I love to have fun and experience the latest things.

Our experience with AvaMarie has been nothing short of exceptional! From the moment she entered our home, her warmth and kindness instantly put us at ease. Despite my son's initial stranger danger, he immediately took to her, which speaks volumes about her nurturing nature. One of the most remarkable aspects of her care is her ability to effortlessly put our son to sleep, a feat no other sitter has managed. Even our daughter eagerly anticipates their time together and can't stop talking about their next hangout session. AvaMarie's attentiveness is unmatched, and we greatly appreciate how she keeps us informed throughout her time with our children. AvaMarie truly embodies the qualities of an outstanding caregiver, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have her in our lives. She rocks, indeed!

Hi! My name is Jasmine and I am 23 years old! I am originally from a small town outside of Montgomery, AL but now reside in Huntsville to pursue my dreams of becoming a teacher! Ever since I was in my pre teen and teenage years I have loved watching children! The connection you can form with a child is truly the sweetest thing I have ever experienced. I love for the children I watch to have fun experiences instead of just being bored at home! I am a very caring person aside from babysitting I have also been a caregiver. So I think overall, I like helping people in general. What sets me apart from most sitters is I genuinely care about the children and parents of the children that I watch! It’s not just a paycheck for me! I want to make a difference in as many lives as I can especially while loving and caring for little ones while y’all have your date night or free time. I am also very dependable and have reliable transportation. Feel free to reach out if you need a reliable sitter.

We love Jasmine, she is amazing! The first time we met her. My kids loved her right away and normally my kids don’t open up so for them to do that really wow us! She’s caring and loving! We made a wonderful decision in picking her to be our nanny! You won’t regret picking Jasmine as your sitter.
