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.

Although being new to professional childcare, I have much experience and truly enjoy caring for others. I’m an older sister of 3 younger siblings who are all now teenagers that never want to hangout with their older sister, but I’ve always loved helping with those younger than myself. From babysitting newborns to helping raise my younger sisters, and even watching my special needs cousin, I’ve had experience in every age group. I have my own car, can assist with cleaning, homework help, afterschool care, animal care, and much more. I have immense patience for someone my age and I am ready to help! I am currently in high school and college classes but they are online and have a pretty flexible schedule.

My passion for working with children has led me to a fulfilling career in childcare. I have over 20 years of experience teaching preschool, as well as nannying (0-3yr old) and babysitting( various ages), all of which I built trusting relationships with both children and their families. For the past 12 years, I've homeschooled my son, giving me valuable experience supporting school-aged children w/ academics. I believe children learn best through play and connection, and I enjoy creating fun, engaging environments while remaining calm, professional, and detail-oriented. I adapt well to changing routines, de-escalate challenging behaviors, and prioritize nurturing, supportive relationships. Clear communication with families is important to me, and I provide regular updates using each family's preferred method. I'm eager to bring my knowledge, experience, and dedication to a family seeking a trustworthy, compassionate caregiver, while providing comfort and peace of mind to parents. ***I am background checked through Trustline( via the State of California) as well as fingerprinted through the Amador County School district. ***
