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 have been an elementary school teacher for 18 years. I have taught preschool, kindergarten, first grade, and second grade over the years. I love authentic learning experiences that tap into children's natural curiosity about the world, like discovering science through nature and expressing creativity through music, dance and visual arts. I have also raised four children of my own. Two of the four are twins, so I have experience with multiples as well. 💗 Because of my background in teaching, I am happy to offer tutoring as a part of my services if needed. I am CPR and first aid certified.
