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 around kids and pets. I am 18 but have a 2 year old little sister and a 4 month old little brother and am the oldest kid ever n my entire family. I myself have ADHD and understand kids with special needs and am willing to do more research for disabilities I don’t know much about. But I love to be kind and patient and have experience with kids of all ages from looking after my family from time to time.

Good Ohh how precious❤️ I believe that God created all of us equal, but he gave some of us a little extra fairy dust to reserve for the babies of the world. I am blessed to say I received quite an abundance of fairy dust. Loving and nurturing children is what God put me on this earth for! It is my ultimate passion! It is not just a job or a paycheck to me, it is a true gift! I have been fortunate enough to be a part of many extended families raising their children near and far. My mom was a Montessori teacher and my 2 sisters are pre-school teachers. This passion obviously runs in the family:-) A little history here, my grandmother had 12 brothxers and sisters. Lol, I was always the babysitter for all of our cousins and their friends and I loved it!! I would love to share more about me, and learn more about you and your “tiny treasure”. I am available 5 days a week, those days being flexible according to your schedule. I am desiring to be a part of a loving, compassionate, and happy family. I hope that is yours! At the end of September, I will be saying good bye to my previous sweet family. The mom was a Doctor (and now a dear friend) the little sweet 3 year old Ava & the lil precious prince, Cole was is 1. I will miss them so!! This is the saddest part of the nanny world....saying good bye! I may be reached at 407-415-8212. Thank you kindly for your time! ❤️Wishing you a wonderful day! Deborah

My name is Katelyn, but I go by Kate. I’m 18 years old and have about a year of paid babysitting experience, along with several years of helping care for children through church activities and events since I was 15. I have experience working with children of all personalities and needs, including those with special needs. I’m most comfortable caring for toddlers and older children, and I’m happy to help with things like playtime, homework, and bedtime routines.I currently have my own car, so I have reliable transportation and can be flexible with scheduling. In addition to babysitting, I’m currently taking life and health insurance classes. I would love the opportunity to help care for your children!

I am a twenty-two year old wife and small business owner with over four years of professional childcare service; working with children is a genuine passion of mine! I love cultivating imaginative and creative play, especially by encouraging outdoor interaction and activity. Really, I’m just a big kid myself, so you can rest assured that I will be involved and playing with children, not just watching them. I have my own car, am trained in both CPR and first aid, am comfortable with pets, can offer homework assistance, and am willing to help with other household duties! My small business hours are 10-4, so I would only be available before 10 am and after 4 pm most days!
