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.

Hello! My name is Rachel and I'm your local paramedic, wilderness guide, former daycare teacher, and toddler mom. I have over ten years experience in childcare ranging from in-home care to daycare & private kindergartens. I started my journey as a toddler teacher at a mainstream daycare but after a few years, I knew I wanted something more personal and MORE OUTDOORS. Since then I've had the awesome privilege of working with various age groups in all sorts of setting. I also volunteered as an emt and fulfilled 2 years of Americorps service. During the covid pandemic I decided to pursue my paramedic certification and I started working in a local Emergency Department. I still work PRN in an ER, to keep my skills fresh. Currently, I am raising a sensational toddler and I have created in my home a hands on, nature focused, childcare program. Inspired by the companies offering Forest School, and similar daycare alternatives, but with a twist for younger kids, who still need naps and frequent snack breaks! I am in the beginning phase and want to start small so I will not be accepting more than 2 additional children at this time. In the future this may change with capacity. *I am open to catering schedule to the needs of a Shift Worker*

Hi, My name is Taylor! I am 18 and have been working with children for the past 6 years. I am currently a student at JMU working toward getting a degree in biology. I love working with children because it means that I get the opportunity to be a positive role model and a person they and their family can trust. I have experience with all ages, but have worked more closely with ages 0-4. I am also CPR and first aid certified!
