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 Anna, 36 years old. I’m currently American Heart Association BLS Certified. I worked as a Nursing Assistant (15 years) until recently, waiting until my youngest attends Pre-K. I couldn’t work full time hours at the hospital because my husbands inconsistent work hours, he works with the State. He works crazy hours, rotating ams, pms, or nocs. I have a 4 year old and a 6 year old toddlers, and also a 17 year old. I have 2 small dogs that will be staying upstairs in their crates, in our sons room while im babysitting your child. I will be babysitting in our extra in-law suite where I have all the kid toys and learning supplies, snacks, an extra fridge where I can hold lunch pails ext. Sanitation wipes are used morning and after babysitting days. We will also have outdoor playtime as well. I am looking to grow more in childcare business in the near future. So far I'm only booking my availability day by day. I live at the Riverstone community in Madera CA. Playground for fun a few houses down from me. (Summer season only)- I can take your child swimming if it is not crowded. Kids area is only a few inches deep if your comfortable with me taking your child for water fun! EYES WATCHING ALL TIMES! I'd prefer to babysit a child over 2 years old, but willing to discuss for the day. My toddlers enjoy play dates! Kids trip, fall ext... if you'd like to do body scans "bruisings"(legs arms back) totally fine with me. To cover myself and for your reassurance and mine. If you'd like to do this. Just thought I'd ask just for protection both ways! For health reasons, please no sick children, which includes eye infections or diarrhea, fevers, and coughs. Please keep at home until they are well. Thank you! Enjoy your day!
