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.

I’m in my 2nd year of nursing school at EKU. I’m really looking into becoming either an oncology pediatric nurse or a labor and delivery nurse. I’m currently working as a CNA through a private company, but they haven’t had much openings for this month. While working as a CNA I have mainly worked in geriatrics memory care. I have worked at a daycare this past year with ages 4 mo - 3 years old, but I do have experience with other ages as well. I’m CPR and first aid certified. I’m really good at following instructions and schedules, if ya’ll have a preference on things getting done.

Caring for children has been a passion of mine since I was 15, when I first began working in the nursery at my church. I loved creating a safe, fun, and comforting space for infants and young children each week. That passion grew into a professional role as a Lead Infant Teacher at a local daycare, where I guided daily routines, planned engaging developmental activities, and helped each child thrive. With years of hands-on experience, including private nanny roles for infant children and a genuine love for nurturing little ones, I bring energy, patience, and dedication to every childcare setting.
