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! My name is Sydney and I am a graduate student at UNCG. I have been taking care of infants, toddlers, kids, and dogs since I was 16. I have taken care of children ranging from 3 months-13 years old and previously worked as a nanny for a family with an infant and toddler, along with 2 dogs. My previous responsibilities have included crafts, driving to/from activities, and meals. I am patient, caring, and fun-focused while keeping safety a priority.

I am willing to offer light household duties such as cleaning, laundry, and running errands. My pet care responsibilities have included feeding, walking, playing, and overnight care. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, and am comfortable with most breeds. I can't wait to get to know your kiddos!
