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.

I come from a family full of kids so this gave me the opportunity to become familiar with child care since a very young age. I had the opportunity to work with kids at my grandmother’s school, I guess I could say that I inherited the passion of working with kids from her. I was a med student back in Ecuador, and I am now back at school in Gainesville working on my prerequisites so I can fulfill this dream. In my opinion, this is a great experience to take care of kids because it has given me some information about nutrition, psychology, first aid and in general health that I will use in order to give you and your kids the best service. I have plenty of references, I have worked as a babysitter for a long time now and I absolutely love it!

Hi! My name is Shannan, and I’m passionate about working with children and helping them feel safe, supported, and happy. I love being a sitter because I enjoy building connections with kids, watching them grow, and creating fun, meaningful experiences while also being someone families can trust and rely on. I have several years of experience working with children of all ages. I’ve been babysitting for multiple years and have also worked in daycare settings for nearly three years. Through this, I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, including middle schoolers. I’m currently pursuing a degree in Childhood Education (general and special education), which helps me better understand children’s developmental and individual needs. I bring patience, creativity, and strong communication skills to every family I work with. I’m experienced in managing routines, supporting homework, planning engaging activities, and creating a positive, structured environment. I’m committed to making sure your child feels safe, valued, and cared for and giving you peace of mind while you’re away!
