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 families ! My name is Serenity Green. I am 26 years old and live in Eden North Carolina. Im looking for a nanny position within Rockingham county; summerfield or Greensboro. A little bit about me and my experience within childcare . I have been in childcare since 2020 within centers and nannying/house management live in & live out as well as a night nurse. I have worked with all ages from infancy to school age as well as developmental delays, special needs and behavioral issues. Have worked with feeding tubes, G-tubes, and a child with an intense illness. I am cpr/first aid certified , used to be Sid’s certified (it has expired but I am willing to renew if needed), and am comfortable working with sick children as well. I am smoke free, have my own car, and am comfortable driving children as well as comfortable around pets. I love to read, spend time with my dog, travel, swim, kayak, and watch tv. I wrote a poetry last year that is published on Amazon and about to be sold in a bookstore within my town. I love photography as well, minored in it a little bit within my time I was enrolled in college. I have an older brother who was in the marines and a younger sister who just started college. I’m looking to get out, see the world some more, meet new people and get new experiences. I absolutely love working with littles and love to watch their little eyes as they learn and see the world for the first time. Childcare is my absolute passion and I can’t wait to meet the next family I’ll get the chance to be a part of!

Hi! I love being around children. I am constantly volunteering at church and babysitting among friends/family. I've helped in the raising of my two younger sisters. I currently have my CNA license and am BLS/First-Aid/CPR certified and I'm planning on going back to school to become a pediatric nurse. I see myself as a responsible and dependable young-adult. On a lighter note, I love art and music!
