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.

Hi! I’m a dedicated and energetic caregiver with a passion for working with children of all ages. I have one year of hands-on nannying experience caring for two children, including one with special needs, which has strengthened my patience, adaptability, and ability to provide individualized care. In addition to nannying, I bring multiple years of babysitting experience with children of all ages, including those with special needs. This has given me a well-rounded ability to adjust to different personalities, routines, and developmental needs while creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment. I also have over five years of coaching experience working with kids ages 4 to 18. Through coaching, I’ve developed strong skills in leadership, communication, and creating a positive, structured environment where kids can grow in confidence and have fun. I’ve also planned and led day camps, giving me experience organizing activities, managing groups, and keeping children engaged and safe throughout the day. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and high-energy while still maintaining a calm and supportive presence. Whether it’s helping with daily routines, encouraging development, or creating fun and meaningful activities, I strive to make a positive impact in every child’s life. I also plan on re-obtaining my BLS and First Aid certificate by the beginning of May!

This past 2 school years I have been working in an elementary school as a paraprofessional. Before that, I was a nanny for almost 10 years to two families(5 years with one, over 4 with the other) I absolutely love children, and do not mind helping with light housework, meal prep, fun games, educational development, and fun outings!

Hello my name is Kayla moody. I am a young woman who loves to teach and care for children. In high school I took classes that had to do with early child care education. Following that I started to babysit really with my younger siblings but then branched off to help care for other families. Currently I am an infant teacher but I have a ton of experience with all age groups. My passion over all is to care for others no matter the circumstances.

I have always had a passion for working with children. It started when I was volunteering at my church, and from there I started volunteering at a pre-school to gain experience! I have 7yrs of paid childcare experience. I am First Aid and CPR certified. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for children. I am highly attentive and prepared, with a strong focus on safety and thoughtful care in all situations. Over the past few years, I have worked a lot with infants and toddlers. A little bit about me: I am a huge Disney lover (always up for a classic Disney movie!) I have 2 mini golden doodles at home who bring me a lot of joy! In the summer, you can find me in our pool! Summer is by far my favorite season! I grew up in a Christian family in Roanoke, IN. I enjoy traveling, city life, and trying different foods. My partner is from India, so he has introduced me to Indian food, which is now a favorite (especially Indian chai!)
