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.

I’m a 19-year-old student at Bishop State Community College, working toward becoming a pharmaceutical chemist. I’ve been babysitting since I was about 10, giving me nearly a decade of experience caring for children of all ages, especially infants. I’m very comfortable with bottles, diapers, naps, and soothing little ones, and I love creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can feel happy and supported. I’m patient, responsible, and hands on, and I also help with homework, prepare simple meals, and maintain daily routines. Communication and reliability are very important to me, and I pride myself on keeping both kids and parents happy and supported.

Hi Im Jamyria! I love kids! I have my own daughter and children are just a blessing! I worked in the daycare field and realized I was working for free almost. Childcare is expensive. I know parents are scared of daycare and there are some humans out there who just work with kids because it’s convenient. I have went through all the necessary background checks such as criminal and CPS related and I am in the clear! I would love an opportunity to work in home!
