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.

enjoy working as a babysitter because I truly love caring for children and helping them feel safe, happy, and supported. I have many years of experience caring for children of different ages, from infants to school-aged kids. I am a responsible, patient, and trustworthy person. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident leaving their children in good hands. I always focus on creating a calm, nurturing, and safe environment. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I take child safety very seriously. I am comfortable with daily routines such as feeding, diaper changes, naps, playtime, light housekeeping related to the children, and following parents’ instructions carefully. I am dependable, punctual, and happy to provide references upon request. I look forward to supporting families and caring for their children with kindness and respect.
