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 am seeking a position as a pat time childcare provider. I have experience with children of all ages, diverse backgrounds, ethnicities and unique needs. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and Counseling with a minor in Bible and Theology and I am currently enrolled in an online graduate degree program from Walden University in Clinical Mental Health and School Counseling. For several years, not only have I been a substitute teacher for a number of public and private schools throughout Georgia and North Carolina, but I also spent 3 summer seasons working at a camp for students with disabilities and special needs, in Wyoming. I am currently employed full time in the school district as a School Counselor. From my adolescence years to present, I have been caring for children. I have had opportunities to care for children of all ages including infants, toddlers and up to young adults. Some of the children I have assisted with have been premature births, pairs of twins, and developmentally delayed children. Additionally, I’ve cared for children with food allergies, skin allergies, autism, Down Syndrome, ODD, OCD and ADHD. I have served as a Guardian Ad Litem for a child in the foster care system of the state of North Carolina. In that capacity, I acted on the child’s behalf in the court system to provide protection, guidance and support until the child reached the age of adulthood. I welcome the opportunity to speak with you regarding my experience and your family’s needs. I am delighted to share references with you so that you may communicate openly to discuss my qualifications and experience. I am confident you will find my experience, skill set, work ethic, knowledge, education and overall professionalism at the highest levels. Thank you for your time and consideration, I look forward to working with you and your family. Very Respectfully, Amber

Hello, My name's Makaylia. And here is a little about me. After I graduated high school I started working as a substitute teacher at Cherokee Central Schools and found my passion. I absolutely love working with children. I have always loved children and frequently babysat for family and friends when I was in school. At the moment I am going to college to become an early childhood educator. I believe the best part of working with children is watching them grow and explore the world around them. One of my favorite parts of being a substitute was working with the youngest students because so much was new and exciting. I firmly believe that every child is special and unique and should be treated with kindness and understanding as they work through the challenges of growing into adulthood. I am very excited about the opportunity to work with you and your children in the future!
