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.

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them.

First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to considering my ability to help you. I was a full time nanny for 4 boys ranging from newborn-10. I've been on amd off with them the past 5 years. I would say that I have a lot to offer considering I have a crazy amount of care, patience, and love for all children. I love being active and love to keep the kids entertained without electronics. I have a lot to offer to any family that is willing to take a chance. Thank you!
