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.

Hey! I am Elianah Neese. I am the oldest of 4 children and a pastors kid. I am from Irmo South Carolina, and I graduated from Dutch Fork High School. I am currently a sophomore at Cedarville University in OH, majoring in Primary Education. I have always grown up babysitting and I love being and caring for kids. I am CPR certified and have experience with first aid as well. This past summer I spent much of my time nannying. I love spending time with family and friends while also doing arts and crafts and spending time on the beach. I spent the past summer nannying for multiple families. My time helping you would be filled with taking care of your child first and for most, but also helping around the house in any way possible. I have both my FBI and BCI background checks completed. I know life and being a parent can be stressful and I am here to help!

Hi! I am an empty-nest homeschooling mom that taught for 30 years and did childcare for others as well during 15 of those years. For the past 4 years I have been tutoring online Reading, Science and ESL classes. I have LOTS of experience with kids! I believe kids need a variety of inspiring, fun activities mixed with plenty of fresh air, sunshine and processing/play time. In my style of care, kids participate like we're family. We read a lot, bake cookies together, plant gardens, hike, go bowling, do STEM projects, visit the zoo or museums, swim, paint pictures, swing, etc... I can come to you, or your kids are welcome to be cared for in our home. If this sounds like a good fit, I look forward to working with you!
