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.

My name is Caroline Monroe! I'm 19 years old and attend Wingate University. I have a spunky personality, I'm very friendly, and am very patient. I have my driver's license and a car of my own, so I can easily provide transportation. I attend Bethel Lutheran Church in Salisbury and work in my church's nursery. I received my CNA last year and am CPR and first aid certified. I also received a babysitting certification through the Red Cross. I love children and seem to always have little shadows as I was a cheerleader at my high school for 4 years. I am an Elementary Education major and hoping to teach kindergarten because of my love for children. I have very flexible hours and will be able to start as early as May through the end of August. Though this may only be a summer position, I feel as if I would be a good fit for your family! I can provide references upon request as I have been babysitting since the age of 12 for multiple families. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me!

Hi 👋🏻 My names' Brittany, and l've been babysitting for over 15 years. My family and friends will tell you that I have an incredibly big heart, a lot of patience, and a strong desire to empathize with others. Laughter, in my opinion, is the greatest cure for all. I enjoy hearing others laughing and enjoying the wonders that life has to offer us all. Which is why I chose a speciality in behavioral analysis, providing therapeutic services to children who're between the ages of 2 years old to 12 years old and diagnosed with a developmental disorder(s). Although it's a difficult job, it's filled with so much joy and happiness! I also have 5 years of healthcare-related experience, working as a certified medical technician and medical assistant. I'm currently pursuing my bachelors and eventually, my doctorate, in forensic psychology. Someday, l'd like to use my credentials to offer therapeutic support, justice, and advocacy for adolescent and adult survivors. I am also adult and infant CPR and BLS certified. Right now, other than raising my four beautiful babies and creating a wonderful life with my husband of 12 years, my hobbies include dancing, listening to music, going for walks with my kids, fishing, creating educational lesson plans for my clients (yes, I truly enjoy this!), baking, crafting/DIY-ing, swimming, camping, and anything that requires me to be outdoors. I'm a born and raised Carolinian, who's lived in the 'boondocks' for the 30 years that l've been livin' and breathin.' So, believe me when Itell you that I know how to make any and every thing fun and adventurous. I am looking forward to all of the opportunities that await me within this app!
