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.

Jaz’myn is still currently my babysitter. She has been babysitting my 5 year old autistic and epileptic daughter and my 11 year old daughter while I work for the past two weeks. She has so much energy and is full of life. My kids are always tired when I get home because of how much Jaz’myn does with them. She has taken them to many fun places and is so great. She cooks for them and always cleans up after herself. I would highly recommend Jaz’myn to anyone that needs a sitter once the summer is over of course.

I have 3 year of experience of working with kids. I have worked from summer camps to ABA clinics/in home/in school. I am a certified RBT and still work in the field. I am currently in school for psychology. I'm not sure exactly where I'm going but working with kid with disabilities is an experience that has been so amazing that I know it's within that. I love being active and staying active! I am originally from Louisiana but moved to Georgia back in July. I love traveling and have been to 8 different states and two different countries. I love kids and love to be in their light of the world. I am also good with pets. I have two cats!!!

Hi! My name is Trenae. I am 28 years old and a reliable, caring person with a true love for working with children. I have over two years of experience working in a daycare, where I cared for children of different ages and helped create a safe, fun, and structured environment for them. I’ve also volunteered with children at church, which gave me even more hands-on experience supporting and caring for kids. In addition, I often babysit for friends and family, so I’m very comfortable caring for children of all ages.. I enjoy keeping kids engaged with games, creative activities, outdoor play, reading, and helping with homework. My goal is always to create a positive, safe, and nurturing environment where children feel happy and supported. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident leaving their children with someone they trust, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and always focused on each family’s individual needs. I also have a reliable car and can safely drive children to and from school, activities, or appointments if needed. I’m happy to help make life a little easier for parents by assisting with light housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, and keeping common areas tidy. I also love pets and am very comfortable working in homes with animals, including helping with basic pet care. Before starting college, I proudly served in the military for six years. That experience helped strengthen my discipline, reliability, leadership, and sense of responsibility. These are some qualities I bring with me when caring for children and supporting families. I am currently in college and continuing to work toward my goals. While doing what I truly enjoy helping and caring for others. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide dependable, loving care for your children.
