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.

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

I’m currently attending college online, majoring in psychology. I’ve spent most of my life helping care for my younger siblings, and I’ve been nannying/babysitting professionally for the past four years. I currently work as a part-time nanny 2 days a week, and I’m available the remaining weekdays as well as fully available on weekends. I am CPR certified and have extensive experience with children of all ages. I’m skilled in meal prep, diaper changes, light housekeeping, and I have my own reliable transportation for school pick-ups, outings, or errands. I love creating a safe, fun, and encouraging environment where children feel seen, appreciated, and free to express their creativity. Their laughter and smiles truly brighten my day.
