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 recently graduated with a bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. While I didn’t love the duties of teaching in a classroom, I discovered my favorite part has always been caring for and connecting with kids. I love supporting learning while also making children feel safe, cared for, and excited to learn. I have my own vehicle and have always been a responsible person evident by my 4.0 gpa, my recent long term job at aldi, and a successful student teaching year. Now I am so excited to get to know and support your children!

ay at a Time 💖 Hello! I'm Shmia McGruder , and my greatest joy is working with children. For the past 8 years, I've had the privilege of being a childcare worker, a role that allows me to witness the magic of discovery every single day. My approach is built on patience, fun, and respect. I truly believe a child's early years are the most critical, so I focus on creating a supportive space where they feel safe enough to be curious, make messes, and learn from their mistakes. I love incorporating music, art, and nature into our daily routine to make learning an exciting adventure. I am dedicated to being a consistent, positive role model and helping your child develop the self-confidence and social skills they'll need for a lifetime of success.
