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.

Hey! I’m Rachel and 26 years old. I recently just moved to St. John’s, FL (I don’t know how to change it on my profile) I am a fun, caring, and a friendly person. I love to go to new places, paint, and hang outside by a pool or beach. I have lots of experience with all ages, and am looking for a full time nanny position, M-F but open to other possibilities as well. I have first aid/cpr certification, water safety instructor, 3 years working as a paraprofessional/teacher aid, and 10+ years of babysitting experience. I took early childhood education courses sophomore year to senior year, including assisting in a 1st grade class, and the preschool, the year prior. I also took college courses for early childhood. Some of my favorite things are: my dog Roscoe, ballet, cheerleading, and any type of art! I love to work with kids and help them in any way I can! I am comfortable with all ages, but have most experience with elementary age and before! If you have any questions feel free to message me! ☺️ I look forward to speaking with you!

Hi, I have had love and passion for caring for children since I was a little girl. I couldn't wait to be a mom. I have two children ( one has flown the coop and my daughter is 14) I have spent my career as a Licensed Nursing Assistant. I am transitioning out of the career. I want to switch gears from a hospital setting, to do what I'm really passionate about. I know what it's like to have to work and finding a reliable, loving, trustworthy babysitter is hard to come by. I remember dropping my first born off my first day back to work, I said my goodbyes to him and balled on my way out the door. I felt like the worst mom in the world, abandoning my newborn... I would like the opportunity to support you and your family, in your home, when your child is most comfortable and secure, whether it's your fist born or toddler going through terrible two's. I have references,a reliable transportation , BLS certification and loving heart. I am available weekdays and occasional weekends for date night!

Hi! I’m an experienced childcare professional with 11+ years of experience caring for children from newborns through age 10. I have a background in early childhood education and have worked in both infant and preschool settings, including as a lead teacher. I’m passionate about creating a warm, engaging environment where children can learn, explore, and feel comfortable being themselves. I’m especially nature-oriented and love incorporating outdoor play, hands-on activities, books, art, music, and child-led exploration into our days. I believe children learn so much through play and everyday experiences, and I enjoy following their interests while providing a safe and nurturing structure. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and have extensive experience with infants, toddlers, and young children. I’m comfortable with everything from bottles, naps, and diapering to preschool activities, outdoor adventures, and keeping older children engaged. I’m also a mom to a wonderful 3-year-old daughter, who would accompany me occasionally while I provide care. I’m expecting another baby girl, so I’m particularly comfortable caring for multiple young children and understand how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your little ones.
