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, my name is Taylor, I'm 19 years old and currently studying psychology at the University of Central Arkansas with the goal of becoming a child therapist. I've always enjoyed working with kids and creating fun, safe, and nurturing environments for them to grow and learn. While I may be young, I am responsible, caring, and fully committed to earning your trust as someone who will take great care of your children. I take my responsibilities seriously and understand how important it is to create a safe and engaging environment for kids. I'm dependable, punctual, and great at following directions to ensure your family's routine is respected. My coursework and career focus on child development give me an understanding of how kids think, feel, and thrive, which helps me connect with them and handle situations with patience and care. I grew up in a close-knit family and understand the importance of trust and communication in childcare. My goal is to provide peace of mind for parents while creating a fun and caring environment for your kids.

Hi! I’ve been abroad since the summer, but I’m back and ready to start helping some families! Before I left, I watched a girl (13) and boy(7) after school. One day a week I would also watch 3 boys (7,9,10). There were a few other families that had me on call, usually overnight and weekends. Weekends were a 2yo girl, overnight was a 5yo boy, and date nights were a 5 month old and two other school age children. The summer of 2019 I also worked at the Little Rock Racquet Club, so I have some experience with multiples. Can’t wait to meet you!
