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.

Experienced, dependable caregiver and mom of two teenagers (almost 16 & 18) offering well-rounded support for busy families. With lifelong childcare experience — including caring for my own children, their friends from infancy through the teen years, nieces, nephews, and families through trusted community referrals — I provide attentive, calm, and reliable care for children of all ages (as well as in home care support for the elderly). I also assist with pet sitting, indoor and outdoor house cleaning, ranch hand tasks, and simple pool cleaning, helping households run smoothly day-to-day (fees vary based on needs). Families value my strong communication, trustworthiness, and ability to step in wherever support is needed.

Hello i'm a 30-year-old Nanny, that has been a nanny for 10 years. I am currently going to school to finish getting my certificate to one day own my own daycare. I've been married for 1 year and we have nine pets together four dogs, three cats, and, two bearded dragons. I have a good reliable car to be able to drive to and from work and drive the children around if needed period I love cooking in baking.I would say i am a very good cook and a pretty good baker.I love to include the children in cooking and baking.If possible. I love to be outside and I believe in age-appropriate activities for the children and to be keeping them entertained and simulated throughout the day. In the last ten years of being a nanny, I have worked with four families each family.I worked with I only moved on because the children outgrew me and went to school. I've worked with age ranges from two months old to fourteen years old. I have always loved and enjoyed working with children. As good as I am with the kids.I'm a great communicator with the parents throughout the day throughout the week with everything going on with the children and a great listener on how parents would like things taking care of. I hope that in finding a family to work with I can become part of your family for the time needed.
