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.

After 22 years of pastoring and caring for people, I have relocated to Tennessee from Texas and I am seeking ways to continue caring for families. I am a wife and mother of two girls who are now attending college in Tennessee. Serving at a church for over two decades has given me the opportunity to gain unique skills. I managed the yearly overview of scheduling, as well as helping day to day operations run smoothly. I have learned the importance of communicating well. I have consistently worked with children through planning curriculum and events, teaching classes, serving in a children's bus ministry, and communicating with parents. I taught preschool and elementary music for several years. I was also a foster parent for two infants. I spent nine wonderful years homeschooling. Raising our daughters has truly been the joy of my life. I care for children, I am a hard worker, and I am teachable. I truly believe I can help make a difference in this role. I look forward to meeting you!

Hi! I love watching little rays of sunshine and even brilliant older kiddos. I’ve been watching my siblings, cousins, and close family friend’s children since about 10-11 and over the years I’ve grown to absolutely love it. Especially helping them learn knew things or just teaching basics and playing around. I’m CPR and first aid trained, I can cook, clean, change diapers, handle bedtime, honestly really any and everything I’ve experienced it almost all. I’m in the process of drivers ed so soon I’ll also be able to run errands, or like take the children to the park (if the guardian is okay with it) etc.
