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 Ashley Gisselle. I am truly very passionate about child care I do have an associates in child development and I am CPR certified. I am currently a pre school teacher and I love it. I have plenty of experience with child care as I am the eldest and always loved babysitting at a young age. I think that the first few year of a child’s life are the most crucial. I love going outdoors, having dance parties with my preschool kids, watching Disney, and reading a good book. 🙂

Hi! My name is Mia, and I’m the oldest of four girls. Being the oldest sibling has taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and setting a good example for my younger sisters. I was born and raised in Berkeley, California, a place that has always felt like home to me. Growing up, I spent many years swimming competitively, which I did until 7th grade. Swimming taught me discipline, perseverance, and how to push myself to be better every day. Outside of sports, I have a love for baking. I enjoy trying new recipes, creating sweet treats, and sharing them with my family and friends. Along with baking, I also enjoy spending time with kids. Whether it’s babysitting, helping with activities, or just playing with them, I love the joy and energy they bring. Overall, I’d describe myself as caring, hardworking, and creative. I’m excited to continue learning, trying new things, and growing as a person!
