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.

I have had several years of paid experience in childcare ranging from watching infants to teaching group swim lessons. I am certified in CPR/ First Aid, AED, and Swim Instructor/ Lifeguard.

Hi! My name is Macy Engle. I started babysitting with my younger brother and then moved on to multiple families through friends and referrals. I have cared for children of all ages. I was also a fun time nanny for a child from 5 months to 1.5 years old, which included cooking, cleaning, and full time care while her parents were at work. Later, I helped care for her younger brother from newborn through 7 months. I currently work full time in a chiropractic office where I regualary work with children ranging from newborn to 15 years old, along with frequent adult interaction. Chiropractic is the field I plan to pursue in the future, with plans to attend school in Marietta, Georgia in the future. I am looking to relocate to learn the area. I would be available to start as soon as March in order to give my current Jon sufficient notice. I would not be moving with a car initially but plan to have my own vehicle within my first year wherever I relocate to. I am easy going, flexible, and very clean. I truly love working with kids and being part of their growth and development. I enjoy being outdoors, staying active, and incorporating education activities whenever possible.
