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'm Brianna. I am a Christian who grew up in a large family so I've been around littles my entire life. I have been a babysitter for over 15 years, 12 of those years I have been a full time nanny. I believe it is important to interact with the children that are in my care. Play with them, read to them, crafts..etc. Outdoor playtime is something I believe is important as well (weather permitting). We practice being polite and using good manners. Thanks for taking the time to read this. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello! My name is Madeline and I'm 22 years old. I worked with an autistic teenager for two years. During the school year I attended Coronado High School in El Paso, TX to aid my client in getting to different classes, teaching social skills, and handling behaviors. Since I was in a special needs classroom setting I had the chance to work with a wide range of characters. I'm very patient, but able to handle high stress situations appropriately and promptly. Of course i do enjoy teaching and hanging out with kids! I’m active and can definitely keep the kiddos entertained. I’m back living in Anchorage and I’ll be ready to help out during these busy holiday seasons! Madeline

Hi! I’m a college student and fairly new to professional childcare. While I am new, I’m the oldest of 14 and counting grandkids so I’ve had quite a few years of experience taking care of children from newborns to teenagers. I have a genuine passion for caring for kids and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them to grow. I’m patient, attentive, and naturally nurturing, and I take pride in being someone both kids and parents can trust. When I’m not care taking I enjoy being active, playing sports and exploring. But I also love staying in and having fun playing games, cooking/baking or just relaxing. So whether your child needs an energetic playmate, help with routines, or a calm and caring presence, I’m happy to provide it!
