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! I have grown up in East TN, have worked with kids since I was able to hold them, and have loved every second! I live in Lenoir City with my husband and my dog, and I'm looking for a part time to full time job over the next several months. I am an adventure guide in the warmer months up in the Smokies, so I will be going back to that in late spring, but will be available until then! I have worked with all ages of kids in many different environments, such as Sunday school/VBS, camp counselor, summer school, coaching soccer, camps at a climbing gym, outdoor adventures and guiding, and at home babysitting. I love getting to know children and learn about what makes them unique as a person, help them learn and grow, and have fun while doing it!
