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! My name is Ella! I am from Grand Ledge, Michigan and have been nannying for over 2 years! I graduated from Grand Ledge High School in 2022, and have been nannying since! I was a varsity softball player for 4 years and worked with a lot of younger girls which made me realize how much I love working with kids and being a good role model! Nannying has definitely kept me active and on my toes which I absolutely love!

I am currently employed at East Olive Elementary, certified as an Early Childhood Educator for ages newborn-3! (I also have experience within the school with young preschool ages). From my sophomore year - junior year of high school, I babysat twin infant girls too! I attend LCC online so I have a pretty flexible schedule + reliable transportation. In the spring and summer I love spending as much time as possible outside, but when the weather is crappy I love a day inside! I love being very present with children, if that means I’m simply eating a meal with them, to being active in playing with them!

I have 7+ years working as a full time professional nanny. I have reared four infants into preschool and elementary. I love working with children and watching them develop into kind, well rounded humans with unique personalities. I have worked with children through out my whole career. My knowledge of early childhood education comes from my experience working 12+ years as an early childhood educator in a daycare setting. Along with classes, training sessions, and the International Nanny Training Day Seminars, I have a broad scope of knowledge and ability to use those skills throughout daily activities. I love to create! Making art with children is one of my favorite activities. My love of music and teaching piano is always fun to incorporate in daily nanny life!
