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.

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and helping them feel safe, happy, and supported. I love being part of their day-to-day lives, whether it’s playing games, reading together, exploring creative activities, or helping with homework. Watching children grow, learn new things, and gain confidence is incredibly rewarding, and I take pride in creating an environment where they can thrive and feel cared for. I have over four years of experience working with children of all ages, from newborns through middle school. My experience includes working in after-school programs, summer camps, and private nannying, where I have learned how to adapt to each child’s unique needs and personalities. I currently nanny for a family in the High Country and have cared for multiple families over the years, giving me a strong foundation in planning daily routines, managing group activities, and providing individualized attention. In terms of skills and training, I am CPR certified and currently pursuing a degree in Elementary Education at Appalachian State University. I am responsible, patient, and organized, and I focus on creating a fun, nurturing, and safe environment. I am happy to assist with meals, bedtime routines, transportation to activities, educational support, and tidying up the house as needed. I also have experience pet-sitting, which allows me to care for the whole family, not just the children. Overall, my goal is to be a reliable, caring presence that both children and families can trust and enjoy having in their lives.

Hi everyone! My name is Kendra and I am a Biology graduate student and lab instructor at Appalachian State University! I am completing my master’s degree in the spring (May), also teach general biology classes, and I am looking for a nanny job shortly before/after my graduation! I have 2-3 years of babysitting experience, 10 years pet sitting experience. My rate may be higher than some folks to compensate for my education! I (nearly) have a master’s degree in biology, as well as a BS, and a minor in psychology. I have research experience in both areas that give me extensive knowledge on health, first aid, safety procedures, education, phenomenal homework help for all ages, conflict resolution, teaching skills, and and many other skills that make me the perfect, safest person to trust with your little ones! The reason I am looking to be a nanny, is as mentioned above I do biology research and after completing my master’s degree, I plan on going to PhD school to pursue STEM education as I am incredibly passionate about getting young kids excited about science and math! If any of this sounds interesting to you, I’d love to speak with you and answer and questions you may have! I look forward to hearing from you!
