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 a professional nanny and college-educated mother of three! I love kids and have years of experience caring for children of all ages including newborns! I am a very cheerful, responsible, nurturing, patient, kind, fun, and trustworthy woman! I love doing age-appropriate activities with my nanny kiddos. My goal is to make them feel safe, secure, and loved while I help them develop cognitively, emotionally, socially, and physically. I enjoy teaching, reading books, playing outside, going to parks, dancing around to music, going to libraries, and doing arts & crafts. I am more than happy to prepare kids' meals, do their dishes, help clean up our messes, and drive them anywhere they need to be! Lastly, for you parents, I am very flexible, easy to get along with, and always welcome open, honest communication! I hope to hear from you soon! Have a wonderful day!

I quit my corporate finance job last year and moved to Arkansas to take on homestead life with my partner. I’m looking to add more color to my life by finding some great families that need a caregiver for their kiddos. I think teaching, playing with, and learning from little ones sounds way more fun and fulfilling than a job that has me staring at a screen all day. It’s also a great way to connect more with my new community! I love being outside, being active, cooking, and reading. While I’m still new to the whole homestead thing, I’ve learned a bit about gardening and livestock, so it would be cool to introduce more children to those types of skills if they have any interest. I've always prided myself on being creative when it comes to designing activities for my clients. I used to create daily scavenger hunts for my younger cousins when I cared for them, and they still talk about how much fun we had! I hope to make great memories with your family, too :) I tend to jive really well with more “crunchy” families. I’m very well-versed in nutrition (lots of experience with Weston A Price principles/ancestral eating) and creating a low-tox home (I’m a huge fan of chemical and fragrance free cleaning and personal care products). I am more than happy to work out an arrangement that includes some degree of cooking, cleaning, etc. if there is downtime based on your kiddo’s schedule. My mom ran a daycare when I was little, and I’ve been babysitting as long as I can remember, so my experience is pretty broad. At the ages of 12-16, I spent summers watching all of my younger cousins from the time they were infants. I also have two young nephews that I was entrusted to care for, including overnight sits. Most recently, I supplemented my full time corporate job with weekend sits for a few families in FL (before I moved), and watched up to five children at once. I’m comfortable with kids of all ages and manage chaos quite well. Just tell me what your family needs and I can adapt to support you!
