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.

My name is Maureen and I love children of all ages. I have eight brothers & sisters (from the same parents!) Being the second oldest and the oldest daughter, I had a lot of responsibilities and learned how to be patient, how to love unconditionally, and how to make fun happen! I worked in a dental office for 30 years, which I loved, but feel as though I missed my true calling of being a teacher and helping kids learn & grow! I recently spent two years at CrossPoint Learning center as the Lead 4/5 year old teacher. I loved my time in the classroom with the kids! I would still be there if we hadn't decided to move to the coast. We have raised three successful children and I adore my three granddaughters! (Ages 10, 9, & 2) I would love to meet with you!

I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy bonding with kids and their families and helping create a safe, comfortable environment. I love watching children grow, learn, and develop their own personalities. I have many years of experience in babysitting and childcare, and while my CPR certification recently expired, I am currently in the process of renewing it. I am also a student at the University of South Alabama, majoring in nursing, with the goal of becoming a pediatric nurse.

I come from a big family, so caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve grown up helping with younger siblings and relatives, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a fun but safe environment. I truly love being around kids and hope to be a mom one day, the kind of mom who is fun, caring, loving, and someone children feel safe talking to. As a sitter, I strive to be someone kids can trust and feel comfortable with, while also respecting parents’ rules and routines. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure your child feels happy, secure, and supported while you’re away.
