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.

Hi there! I love working with kids and being able to be someone there for understanding and care, I have babysat multiple kids in the past for around 2 years, but I have experience working in the child care industry since I was 13! I am very patient and very passionate about being a safe space for children to learn and grow! I love helping children become happy with themselves and their progress in things they are learning. I am currently working on getting my GED, and have classes (as of right now) on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9 AM! I have a flexible schedule and I should be able to make changes accordingly! I am a good person to be around, I have good communication skills and a lot of love! I would love to get to know you and your family

Hello! My name is Rocío, I'm 28 years old, and I'm from Argentina. I speak fluent Spanish and English, and I have a work permit in the United States. I have over four years of experience caring for children ages 1 to 16. I worked as an au pair for one year in Germany and two years in the United States, and I also have one year of experience as a nanny. During this time, I was responsible for tasks such as preparing meals, accompanying children to activities, helping with schoolwork, organizing games, and managing bedtime routines. I also took the kids to the playground, libraries, and participated in extracurricular activities like football, piano, and other activities based on their interests. Additionally, I have a driver's license, which allows me to drive if necessary. I consider myself a responsible, patient, and caring person. I enjoy working with children and providing a safe, joyful, and respectful environment where they can grow with confidence.

Hi! My name is Katelyn and I absolutely love working with kids. From a young age I have had the passion to become an educator. I have worked in several elementary schools in the past couple of years. I mainly worked with 1st grade but have bounced around to different ages as well. My passion is helping kids learn and getting to experience that "lightbulb moment" you hear everyone talk about. More personally, I have 1 dog and 2 cats. We will be new to the area, but have visited Charleston several years over my life. I love spending quality time with my friends and family. I love being outdoors. I love to spending time in the kitchen trying to either find or come up with new recipes. I also love to read. I hope that covers enough about me but feel free to ask any questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you and the potential to meet your child.
