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.

Last-minute, school and tutoring, date nights—find the right babysitters for you.

Hi!! I'm a very outgoing and friendly person who has several years of experience working with children in different fields such as daycares and home sitting for a wide range of ages. Along with that I also have younger siblings which I’ve cared for from time to time over the years. I’m engaging, responsible, and the perfect “role model” for a sitter. Besides nannying I really enjoy baking and cooking (I plan on owning my own bakery in the future!), being outdoors, reading, and all things art related. Along with providing supervision and care for your children I can also help with cooking/meal prepping, cleaning, laundry, running errands etc. I'm very openminded in regards to what is wanted and needed from me. With me I always strive to go above and beyond with whatever task I'm giving and can ensure a safe, supervised, happy, and encouraging environment for your children :)

Great with kids of all types of ages. I’ve been babysitting from a young age so it comes natural to me. I also have experience with babies. As long as it’s under 2 children it will be a breeze.
