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.

Working with children has always been my passion, and I love helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and supportive environment. I currently work full-time as a Lead Preschool Teacher and have experience working with children of all ages, including toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. In addition to my professional experience, I come from a large family with children ranging in age from 1 to 20 years old, which has given me extensive hands-on experience caring for and interacting with children at every stage of development. I have also worked as a babysitter and in an after-school program at an elementary school, further expanding my experience with different age groups and needs. I am currently pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education and am passionate about continuing to learn and grow as an educator and caregiver. I strive to create engaging, nurturing, and educational experiences for children through play, crafts, outdoor activities, games, and hands-on learning opportunities. I am comfortable following household routines and expectations and am happy to assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, transportation, and other family needs. My goal is to provide dependable, caring support while building positive relationships with both children and parents. I look forward to the opportunity to become a trusted and valued part of your family’s support system.

Hi! I’m a retired mom with a 20 yr old daughter who is an Elementary Ed student at USF. My husband passed away Nov 2019. I find I have a lot of time on my hands and need some happiness in my life. I love Littles, especially babies. I’m grandma-ish with none of my own. Having had my only daughter at 42, has kept me young at heart. I’m very trustworthy, honest and dependable, social and friendly. Spoiling your child will be no problem. I have cats and a dog, so pets are fine. I own a newer car, thats dependable and safe. Who out there needs a grandma type nanny. Would prefer 20-30 hrs a week.
