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 love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy working with children and being a positive part of their growth and development. I enjoy creating a safe, caring, and fun environment where children can learn, explore, and feel supported. Seeing children grow, learn new skills, and build confidence is very rewarding to me. I have experience working with children through my educational background and tutoring experience. I have completed 60 credit hours in Early Childhood Education and have gained knowledge in child development, learning strategies, and supporting children of different ages and needs. I also have experience helping children with academics and creating engaging learning activities. I have completed Mandatory Reporter training, CPR and First Aid training, Child Development training, and have tutoring experience. My background has helped me develop skills in child safety, communication, behavior support, educational activities, and creating positive environments that help children learn and thrive.

I've worked at Building Blocks Daycare in which I was a floater... I supported different classrooms by stepping in wherever needed, helping maintain routines and ensuring children were safe and engaged. I assisted lead teachers with activities, supervised playtime, and adapted quickly to the needs of different age groups throughout the day. I currently work at Sergeant Bluff-Luton Elementary as a One-on-one assistant where I support multiple students at different levels by being their guide during instruction and assisting with teaching different subjects.
