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.

CPR TRAINED 7+ YEARS NANNY EXPERIENCE Hello! My name is Stephanie, but my friends call me Stevie! I am seeking a long-term Nanny position in Hernando County for a family that feels I would be a great match. I am an absolute Disney fanatic! I come from a Christian family that practices traditional Conservative values daily. I enjoy reading with kids, cooking, walking outdoors, schedule/ lesson planning and creating fun crafts to do with the littles! I am a nonsmoker and I really hold myself to a high standard as a role model for children. I thrive on keeping the home a happy and clean nest for children and their families to flourish; so, it would be my pleasure to help you with laundry, cooking, dusting and light chores around the home so you can relax and enjoy time with your babies after work! I'm hoping to work a minimum of 30 hours per week but no more than 40. I am also available for 2 overnight shifts per month for families in the First Responders profession only. I can't wait to meet you!

Hello, my name is Cloe. I am a mother of 4 grown children and 2 grandchildren. I was a nanny from 2010 to 2012 where I took care of children ages newborn to 11 years of age. My main family had 2 girls ages 6 and 9. I picked them up from school, took them to after school activities, helped them with homework, worked on holiday crafts and took occasional trips to the park. I had them full time in the summer as well. I went back into the corporate world and last year decided I missed childcare and started working for a family in early 2024 until last May when I started taking care of my grandsons for the summer. I am currently watching a one year old since April of this year. Grandma just moved to the area and will be taking over care in the next two weeks. I am hoping I can find a new family who will appreciate my experience, patience and compassion as much I will appreciate contributing my help with their busy day to day activities. I am hoping to connect with a new family very soon. Thank you for your time.
