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.

Hello! My name is Danielle and I am 28 years old. I am a VPK teacher over in Largo and work with 4-5 year olds. Children are my passion. I have worked with children as young as newborns, all the way up through high school. I have a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, Special Education and in Applied Psychology. I have all of the 40 clock hours required for child care professionals I am First Aid and CPR certified. I spent a year as a live in nanny for a little boy who when I started was 6 months. Mom and dad both worked 12 and 24 hour shifts so I know first hand the importance of a good bedime routine and have have no problem helping out with small cleaning projects such as laundry and dishes after such time I have been living with a friend for the last 4 years who has a boy who is now 6 and I am just as much his parent. I feel as though I have heard and seen it all! :) I love reading and doing art projects. I feel that children learn best through conversation and hands on experience. In my personal time I love being outdoors near the water.

Hello, I have been working with children for over 25 years. I have done everything from babysitting to bus driving to teaching in a classroom. I have my BA in Elementary Education, and I have homeschooled my granddaughter who is about to graduate high school now. I also have special needs twin grandsons, so I am familiar with g-tube feedings and special care these bundles of joy take. I have cared for all ages of children, from newborn to teenagers. I was a foster mother for a newborn/infant for the first year of his life. He had a cleft pallet so we both had to learn how to bottle feed him so that not only could he get the formula down, but he could keep in down. I have done some work in the medical field, so I am comfortable performing first aid. Also, I am comfortable when it comes to giving medication to children.

Hi! I’m Stephanie, I’m 21, and I love working with kids. Being a sitter is something I really enjoy because I get to help kids have fun while also supporting their growth and routines. I like creating a positive, safe, and relaxed environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. I have over 5 years of experience with a wide range of ages, from infants to older kids. I’m used to helping with things like homework, meals, bedtime, and keeping kids entertained with fun and creative activities. I’m currently training to be CPR and First Aid certified, and safety is always really important to me. I’m patient, dependable, and easy to communicate with, and I always make sure parents feel confident leaving their kids in my care. I’d love the chance to help out your family and make things a little easier for you!
