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, I’m Jamiah! I have several years of experience working with children and genuinely enjoy creating a fun, safe, and caring environment for them. I’ve worked with children ranging from newborns to preteens through personal babysitting and nannying, as well as my experience working in childcare and youth programs. I’ve served as an afternoon teacher at First United Methodist Church Daycare in Starkville, Mississippi, and previously worked at the Boys & Girls Club as an afternoon teacher with both elementary and middle school-aged children. Through these experiences, I’ve had the opportunity to help with homework, activities, routines, and everyday care while also building meaningful relationships with the children I work with. I love getting to know each child’s personality and finding ways to make them feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged. Whether we’re doing an activity, working on homework, playing, or simply having a good day together, my goal is always to make sure children feel safe, cared for, and able to be themselves. I truly enjoy working with kids and love being able to play a part in helping them learn, grow, and reach their full potential!
