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.

Last-minute, school and tutoring, date nights—find the right babysitters for you.

Hi! My name is Gianna, and I bring over 5 years of paid childcare experience. I’ve had the privilege of working as a nanny for one family for 2.5 years, which gave me the chance to build strong, long-term relationships and support their children’s growth through different stages.

I am a recent college graduate with a degree in Psychology, and I will soon begin working as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) at Success on the Spectrum here in Florida. My ultimate goal is to become a child psychologist, so I am very passionate about child development and mental health. I am new to the Riverview area and excited to connect with local families!
