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.

Hello Families!! My name is Laney McGee a Kansas City College student with a passion for kids! I have extensive childcare experience working with children of all ages, with a strong background caring for infants. Growing up with many younger cousins and a younger sibling gave me hands-on experience from an early age, helping with daily routines, feeding, diaper changes, homework, and creating fun, engaging activities. I also worked as a travel nanny for a family with three children, where I was responsible for maintaining structure, ensuring safety, and providing dependable, attentive care in new environments. I grew up around healthcare, which has given me a strong understanding of safety, attentiveness, and professionalism, and I am CPR certified. In addition, I have experience caring for animals of all kinds, so I am comfortable in homes with pets and happy to assist with their care as needed.
