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.

My name is Jodi Hyde. My husband and I just moved to Oxford Alabama from Kentucky. I'm originally from Nebraska. Both of my parents were teachers and our oldest son has his doctorates in education. Educational activities are important to me. I believe in reading every day regardless of the child's age, imagination play, outside adventures or simply rocking and singing to the child. I was an LPN for many years in Nebraska. Our family business required my full attention so I didnt renew my license. I've been a nanny in Kentucky for the past 6 years. My first family, both parents are attorneys, ive been with them since their daughter was 4 years old and their son was 3 months old. I'm actually on my way to Kentucky this weekend to celebrate the little girls 9th birthday. I worked for them Monday thru Thursday. My second family that I was a nanny for on Fridays, I've been blessed to see all 3 of their children take their first steps and say their first words. Both parents are vetranarians. The children's ages are 6, 3 and 1. I started for them when their first child was 3 months old. If you'd like to meet, we can see if were a fit for each other. I have excellent references, clean background and driving record. Thank you Jodi Hyde
