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 am 18 years old, I just graduated high school and will be spending a year at NCMC, then transferring to GVSU! I love working with kids and am going into the children’s wellness social work field! I have been working around kids since I was 13! I have experience with special needs due to growing up with a special needs brother. I am CPR certified and willingly to get first aid certified as well! I have been babysitting the same family for the past 5 years, growing up along side their two boys. I also spent my mornings last spring volunteering at the Early Learners Building in Boyne City, working with 3 years olds! I have a lot of experience with special needs due to my brother having severe autism. I’ve helped my mother care for him my whole life and I have lots of patience for children like him. Whether they are just mute, have ADHD, or have extreme autism, I understand everyone has their differences and I am very willing to learn how to support them! I enjoy taking the kids to the park and watching/playing with them on the playgrounds. I also enjoy going on walks, taking them swimming, and even just playing in the yard. Inside, I enjoy coloring with them, playing with legos, and even just going along with pretend play. Although I don’t have legitimate nannying experience, my favorite moment from my other family was both of the boys making me hand made cards for my graduation party and coming and giving me hugs. It melted my heart! The most important part of being a nanny in my opinion is having a great relationship with the children as well as the parents. Being able to have trust, respect, and support for all parties is very important when it comes to allowing someone to watch and keep children safe.

Hello! I'm Natalie, a Petoskey local with a passion for childcare. With 17 years of babysitting experience & 7 of those years as a nanny for three wonderful families, I've had the joy of caring for children from ages 2 months to 13+ years old. My First Aid/CPR/AED Red Cross certification ensures that your child's safety (and your peace of mind!) is a top priority. One thing I love about nannying and babysitting is that it allows me to slow down and be present. Kids find beauty and fun in the simple things and I'm grateful for the opportunity to discover that with them. I'm a fun-loving person and I know the importance of reading, making art, imaginary play and exploring nature for your little one's development. I love arts and crafts, playing outside, going to the library, playing outside, nature walks, and playing games with kids. Being trusted with the care of your child is an honor. Send me a message to see if we're a good fit. I look forward to working with you & your family!

Hi! I’m an 18-year-old with several years of babysitting and childcare experience. I have cared for children of a variety of ages, including infants, and I’m an aunt to a 2-year-old and 5-year-old who I have been helping care for since they were born. I also regularly babysit for family friends and have gained lots of hands-on experience keeping children safe, entertained, and cared for. I am CPR certified and comfortable helping with just about anything your family may need. I can prepare meals, clean up around the house, change diapers, help with naps and bedtime routines, plan activities, take children on outings, and drive them to appointments, practices, or other activities as needed. I have reliable transportation and am willing to travel approximately 30–40 minutes for the right family. I’m looking for a family who needs a caring and responsible nanny, and I’m happy to work with parents to follow their children’s usual routines and make things as easy as possible for the family!
