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.

Before my daughter was born, I was a special education teacher at a little school in a small rural town in northern California. As a special education teacher, I worked with children from preschool to the 10th grade. I worked as a special education teacher for 7 years. Before becoming a credentialed teacher, I worked in a multi-age preschool serving children from infant to 5 with most of my time devoted to infants and 2 year olds. I have also worked with a local family as a nanny for the last three years. As of next fall, both of my children will have entered school which gives me the opportunity to work with new children and families. I would like to find a family whom I can work with in helping to care for their child(ren) and develop a strong nurturing relationship. I hope to connect with a family where I can make a multi-year connection. I would like to get to know your child(ren) and help them grow and thrive as the wonderful individuals they are. We are a vaccinated family.

Hi! My name is Isabell, I am 19 years old, and I have over 5 years of experience working with children, including infants. I come from a big family with 9 siblings, 7 of whom are younger than me, so caring for children of all ages has always been a natural part of my life. I have hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children, as well as working in both kindergarten and preschool classrooms, where I supported children’s learning, daily routines, and emotional needs. I genuinely enjoy working with kids and strive to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they can grow and thrive.

I have over 10+ years of baby sitting experience! I am a mother of 6 kids so I humbly consider myself a kids’ expert. Currently, 4 of my kids go to school so I’m looking to be of some help for someone who is needing a full time reliable sitter!

Margarita/Mags here! As far as credentials go I have 10+ years of experience. As a child I cared for my younger sibling then went on to babysit for family friends in my adolescent and teen years. I am 32 years old and I have a child of my own, my son is 7 years old. Majority of my career, I have worked in healthcare and have lots of experience with caring for children. I am comfortable with children of all ages and intellectual capacity. I am currently working as an RBT with kids who have autism and/or intellectual/physical disabilities. I have my own vehicle no criminal background and a clean driving record. Qualities about me that make me the ideal person to care for your children are: I am responsible, honest, patient, caring, loving, warm and have lots of compassion to give. I enjoy the outdoors but also love crafting, board games and animals. I enjoy doing activities with children that stimulate their brain and get their imagination flowing. I am happy to assist in potty training, preparing snacks or meals (I love to cook), nap time, laundry and picking up/dropping off to and from appointments and/or summer programs or sports. I am looking to bring the right family the relief and support they need and deserve. As a mother I understand how difficult it is to juggle all of life's tasks, even more so while raising a child.
