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.

I recently moved from Neenah, Wisconsin, and just transferred to USC Aiken from UW‑Milwaukee as a freshman. I’m working toward my bachelor’s degree in marketing and love being part of a community that feels like home. Outside of school, you can usually find me reading, baking, cycling, or swimming—and in the summer, I never miss my family’s tradition of going camping. I’m also a big Disney fan and will happily sing along to just about any movie. My love for working with children started in my mom’s kindergarten classroom, where I spent summers helping and babysitting some of her students. I’ve also cared for my younger cousins for extended periods over the years. I’ve been babysitting since middle school, so I bring plenty of hands‑on experience, patience, and enthusiasm to every family I work with. As an animal lover with six pets at home, I’m always happy to help with furry friends too. I aim to create a fun, safe, and supportive environment for kids—whether they’re full of energy or prefer a calm day at home. Families can count on me to be dependable, kind, and engaged.

Hello! I have over ten years of childcare experience and have worked with ages infant-preteen. I was a nanny for three years, and spent another three years working as an autism therapist. I currently babysit for a local family a couple afternoons per week, but am looking to take on work with additional families. I am comfortable with pets, have reliable transportation and would also be open to providing some home management services.
