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 : ) I am seeking caretaking jobs in the Valley Head/Mentone/Fort Payne/ Rising Fawn /Cloudland/Menlo /Summerville and surrounding areas I was offered a nanny job 12 years ago that perked my interest to study early childhood education in college, and I've worn all the hats since then from assistant preschool teacher, toddler teacher, to being an independent early childhood professional working in homes with all age groups. I have primarily worked with ages 3 months to 5 years. I am really passionate about playing outside in nature, reading stories, imagination and creativity, demonstrating thoughtfulness and compassion, and exploring a child's natural interest. My goal is to inspire, guide, and create safe boundaries for children to experience the world around them. I believe my best asset in childcare is that I'm not afraid to get silly play dressup and have fun. I also have a few years of experience caring for seniors with dementia in home and in group care setting. I am happy to email resume and referenses, as well as do a background check if you wish to purchase one. I am CPR certified and I have my own car. I love pets and am happy to care for animals as well! I'm a duck/dog/cat mom! Do reach out if you think I may be a good fit for your family
