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.

Hi I’m Cortlyn. I moved to AL from TN about a year ago and I’ve been loving it so far. I have the sweetest dog in the world. I am 26 and have worked with kiddos for 7 years in daycare/afterschool/summercamp settings. I also have an 8 year old sister that I’ve helped raise. I have 3 nieces I visit several times a year. In addition, both my bosses bring their 1 yr olds to work with them often. Due to my experience, I help keep the babies happy and entertained while they work. Activities I enjoy doing with children… I’ve spent several years working summer camp programs so I love finding fun things to go do outside. Going to the park, blueberry picking, swimming etc. Inside activities can always be just as fun with some imagination. Arts & crafts, hide and seek, classic board games, and many more. The most important part about being a nanny… The most important part about being a nanny to me would be keeping the children safe at all times. Also helping them grow and learn is very important to me. It is so fascinating to watch children figure things out on their own at such a young age.

Hi there! I’m your friendly neighborhood caregiver, Spider-Megan! With great power comes great responsibility and I believe that there’s no greater responsibility than helping our children grow, learn, and thrive in a safe and nurturing environment. I have a masters degree in professional behavior analysis and over a decade of experience working with children of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds! I’m calm and patient as I believe modeling our emotional regulation is the best way for children to learn the same. I love playing indoors and (especially) outdoors, believing that learning and growing can happen through observation and play in any environment!

I began being independently responsible for other children at age 10 when taking care of groups of children ages 5-16 during weeks at a time. I have also dealt with babies in day care and my own sisters as well. Not only that I have worked as a participant of teaching an art club at the elementary school with 6-12 year olds. I have also won the Van Rensselear Star Chapter award for my exemplified charity, truth and loving kindness. I will be happy to take care of your children, pets and house thank you. :) My availability is limited to possible week nights currently or maybe for a short time on the weekend.
