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 Faith Wyatt, I am 22 years old. I am the middle of three girls, my sisters are my best friends. I have been babysitting since I was 12. I love kids and always have, they are so fun and always keep me on my toes. I have worked two management positions since high school, which I loved, and on my days off I was a nanny to three boys under 4 for a year and I loved every minute of it. They helped me realize I wanted to be a nanny full time. I have a Business Management Associates degree, and I am currently in online school for Dental hygiene prerequisites. I am also CPR certified.

I am currently a student at the University of Tennessee Knoxville. I am majoring in Special Education and minoring in ASL. I started babysitting 10 years ago when I was 11 for family friends and have since continued babysitting as well as working at a daycare, lifeguarding, and teaching kids ages 6 month+ how to swim. I have experienced running a daycare classroom with a max of a 22 to 1 ratio so taking care of several kids at once is no problem. I am energetic and like to do arts and crafts, go outside, music, and even some academics with the kids. I am CPR, First Aid, AED, Lifeguard, and WSI certified. I have my own car and am willing to work late hours. I hope to be a full time babysitter/nanny/tutor over the summer and then work part time during the school year. Please feel free to contact me at any time and I will be ready!

Hello my name is Emma Lynn Doyle!! I’m originally from Nashville and now live in Knoxville while attending the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Growing up as one of six siblings—including one with severe special needs—taught me patience, empathy, and how to handle all kinds of situations with care and understanding. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I’m comfortable caring for children of any age, from infants to teens. I truly enjoy spending time with kids—whether that means helping with homework, playing outside, or finding creative activities to keep them engaged. My goal is always to provide a safe, supportive, and fun environment where every child feels valued and cared for.
