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.

I’ve spent the last 20 years raising my own kids, including seasons as a full-time mom, and now that they’re older, I enjoy supporting other families in a part-time or occasional nannying role. I genuinely enjoy children and believe it takes a village. Raising kids is a big job, and in my opinion, one of the most important jobs in the world. I have a degree in early childhood education and child development, and I’m comfortable with children of different ages. I’m active, creative, calm, and grounded. One of my strengths is connecting with kids, tuning in to their energy and interests, and offering a good balance of play, structure, and support. I’m open to outdoor play, creative projects, reading, routines, transportation, light meal prep, and other engaging activities. I’m happiest interacting with kids and helping them have a fun, active, connected day. My rate starts at $20/hour for one child; extra kids or support can be discussed.
