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 love kids and kids have always loved me. Being around children has always just soothed my soul. I'd love to ensure you have a peace of mind your child are with some who will always keep them safe when you are not able to be home. My best friend since we were six has a ten year old autistic son who has only ever known me as his aunt Bre and he is the light of my life. If you were to ask him he'd tell you I was his very best friend. I've been around since the day he was born so I do have 10 years of experience babysitting and interacting with ginger autistic children I also have 2 dogs and 1 cat of my own so I'm completely comfortable with animals in the home
