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.

I am a 25 year-old college graduate, and was born and raised in the D.C. area. I have just returned home from the SF Bay Area after 3 years before leaving to do some international travel in the spring of 2023. I nannied 2 wonderful preschool and elementary aged children full-time at home during the 2020/2021 school year, and I have several years of experience babysitting for a network of families in the D.C. area since I was a high school student. I am available for nannying and recurring babysitting from December 1st, 2022 to February 15th, 2023. I am both First Aid and CPR certified through the Red Cross. I am fully vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19. I am happy to provide references if you would like to learn more about the high-quality, fun and engaging care I provide. In my free time, I love to spend time outside hiking, baking, reading and (re)exploring D.C's many museums! Most of my experience is with infants and children up to 7 years old. I am also an experienced pet and house sitter if you might need help with your fur babies too! I am excited to meet you and your family, and to be a positive role model in your children's lives!
