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! My name is Hannah, and I have been involved with childcare since 2013. I’ve served with church ministries such as Vacation Bible School, Awana, preschool care and various weekly youth activities. I’ve been a babysitter for kids of all ages and have babysat up to five at a time. After high school graduation, I spent a year abroad working in Ireland. Much of my time there was spent volunteering alongside my local church with children’s and youth ministries. I thoroughly enjoy working with children and love getting to know them and to their families!

Caregiving is in my nature, a tradititional art only to be sharpened. Since being SafeSitter Certified I have been doing this inside my church and community for 7+ years; it only made sense to pick up professionally during University for pocket change. After completing coursework in early childhood development, I began to travel and work as an Au Pair. 7yeats strong and expanding my expertise! <333

My caregiver experience started at a very young age with family, friends and so on. Task I would take on would be things like cooking, cleaning and entertaining. I love meal planning and preparing for others and it’s another one of my passions. I’ll be enrolling in university in spring for Psychology as I do wish to be a teacher and spread the joy of learning and love with young ones.
