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.

I have extensive babysitting experience with children as young as 3 months and as old as 11 years. I love children no matter the age! I believe that it is important to begin reading to children at a young age, and love to work one-on-one with young ones on anything educational. I have my CPR/First Aid certification HQ Teaching Certificate for the state of AL. I have worked as a 3-year-old and Pre-k teacher at a daycare. I also have experience substitute teaching and tutoring, with children of all ages.

A little about myself... I am a first time mother of a one year old daughter who is the sweetest, happiest baby you’ll ever meet. I’ve been taking care of children for over a decade. From inside the home to an actual center. I enjoy doing both but feel compelled to find a family to give their children my all. Along with mine now. It’s hard to give one on one care in daycare centers and it’s too heartbreaking. I am CPR certified. If you have any questions just send me an email or call.

My name is Amanda. I am currently a part time nanny for 2 girls, 8 and 11. In my past I have been a full time babysitter for two years for a little girl, 3-5, a past manager of mine's 3 boys (4, 4, 6) for almost a year. When I was part time in retail, I would occasionally babysit for 2 boys and another family that consisted of 3 girls and a boy. Since moving back to Baldwin county during Covid I have picked up experience with infant care (5-9 months and 2-3 months). I am looking to get into something more full time with more pay. I have two younger brothers, one in grade 9 and the other youngest is 21 with Autism. In addition I also have an older who is now married and a police officer. I have full availability and am flexible to whatever schedule you may need. I am super energetic and positive. I love to cook, clean, help with homework, do errands, after school activities and whatever may be needed.

Hey! My name is Jenny. I love love love working with infants! I served in a church nursery/preschool area and fell in love. After a lot of "baby whispering", as my fellow nursery volunteers called me, I was given the opportunity to step into a role of leadership in the department. I trained new volunteers on how each room worked, helped each person find their "perfect room", and interviewed those who were looking to join our team. I was in this role for a little over a year before I moved back home. I cannot wait to come love on your sweet little ones and watch them grow up into mighty little leaders they were born to be!
