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 have been a paid babysitter for the past seven years for family friends and neighbors. Before coming to college I worked for nine months as a nanny for three children under two years old. I have been Red Cross Babysitter certified and have gotten additional child care training from working in summer camps through PP&R. I have babysat for children 3mo to 10yrs old. I enjoy babysitting because I like being able to meet children at their level and allow them to explore and grow in a safe and positive environment. I love playing with children and interacting with them in a creative and collaborative way. I love getting to know each child and integrating myself into the unique culture of each family.

Hi! My names Amanda! I was a mechanic the last few years but have decided to slow down for a while and am looking for part time work. I have not babysat for money in a couple years but I watch my friends (toddlers) children often. I love kids and all pets and don't mind cleaning up after them! My hair is currently blue and I have several tattoos. I love music, walking, lego, and I'm learning to crotchet!

I was born & raised in Jacksonville, Fl. I met my husband while he was stationed there. We married, then moved to his home state of Mn! In July of '22 I became a mama to a miracle born at 23 weeks. He spent 126 days in the hospital, came home in November '22, & has been thriving ever since! For over 20 years I have watched children ranging in age from 2 months to 11 years old. I have volunteered as a summer camp counselor, babysat, been a nanny to 7 families, & have worked at a licensed childcare center. While working at the center, I have also attained my first aid & CPR certification. I love watching kids because there is hardly ever a dull moment & seeing them accomplish something that you helped teach them to do is super rewarding. Hobbies: Camping, Ice Fishing, & watching UGA football!
