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 have 5 years of nanny experience plus experience as a Montessori educator to preschoolers. I was a nanny to the same family for 2.5 years before I decided to enter the corporate workforce a few years ago. I am heavily involved with my church community, Legacy Bible Church, in Sherman, TX within the kids ministry. I serve Grayson County as a court appointed child advocate for children in the foster system. I adore kids. One of my favorite things is their ability to be fully engaged and present in every moment. It’s so fun! I have experience with housekeeping, laundry, grocery shopping, meal prepping, school pickup/drop-off, and transportation to extracurriculars. A few of the activities I enjoy engaging kids in: arts and crafts, being out in nature, simple science experiments, and anything that stimulates the mind!
