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! I’m Alexis, a caring, patient, and dependable childcare provider with 2 years of paid childcare experience. I’ve always enjoyed caring for children and have become someone families can trust to provide safe, attentive and loving care. I’m comfortable caring for children of different ages and understand that every child has their own personality needs, and routine. I enjoy planning fun, age-appropriate activities that keep children engaged while also encouraging learning and creativity. I’m calm and patient when challenges come up and I always prioritize a child’s safety, comfort and well-being. As a parent myself, I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident with the person caring for your child. I’ll treat your little one with the same patience, kindness, and care I would want for my own.
