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, my name is Jewell and I'm a fun-loving and creative 18-year-old. I just finished up my junior year at Michigan State University studying communicative sciences and disorders, with hopes to be a speech-language pathologist in the future. I have been babysitting for 6 years, and often nanny in the summers. I'm CPR certified, have my own car, and am very comfortable helping children with homework! I have the most experience caring for children under 10 years old, but I love working with older kids as well. I love crafts, baking, outdoor play, and taking kids on fun outings! In my own free time, I love reading and volunteer work. I cannot wait to work with your family!

I’ve been babysitting since I was about 12 years old, so I’ve had a lot of hands-on experience with kids of different ages and personalities. I was a Special Education Science teacher for K–8 students, so working with kids is something I did every day and genuinely enjoyed. I also coach youth soccer, which has helped me build strong communication skills, patience, and the ability to keep kids engaged and active. In terms of training, my teaching background has given me experience with behavior management, routines, and creating a safe, structured environment. I’m also working toward my Master’s degree in Crime Analysis, and I already have my Bachelor’s degree from Tiffin University. While I don’t list a ton of certifications, my daily experience in a classroom setting has really prepared me to handle a wide range of situations responsibly and calmly. Overall, I’m very dependable, easygoing, and someone kids feel comfortable around. I treat every child like they’re my own family, and I always try to make sure they feel safe, supported, and have fun.

Hello! My name is Jen, and I’m a Physician Assistant that is currently taking a break from medicine. I don’t have any children of own my own, but I have been integral in watching my 2 neices and nephew over the past few years (ages 6,4,2, respectively). I am experienced with infants and receive so much joy from children:) I would respect any rules you would set and would aim to be just a continuation of your chosen parenting style. I’m great with activities, whether it be outside kicking a soccer ball, going to the park, or arts and crafts. With my background in medicine, you could rest easy knowing that a medical professional is caring for your child. I’m open to performing other roles such as meal prep/etc, if needed.
