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.

9 years of babysitting as my background. I love working with kids and going outdoors with them and playing games with them. I love the creativity they hold within themselves and see them let it out. It’s very interesting. I’m trying to become a psychologist for school for kids. I love being able to help out and do what I can for them. I work at a school that’s based in special needs and love helping them out when I can :)

Hello! I am a 24 year old nursing major with the goal to work in pediatrics! I am a certified nursing assistant & have an aa in pre-health occupations. Over the past 3 years I have worked closely with a family caring for their children ages 9 & 11. During my time with the family I would actively plan activities including sports, library, crafts, and organize drop off / pick up. I prepped & cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner according to specific diets. I gave educational guidance in math, English, arts, social studies and science for grades pre k - 5th. Lastly, we made fun memories together full of laughs and smiles! I love watching children grow and contributing to that in the most positive way! I have also picked up other babysitting jobs for families! Other than working in childcare, I love traveling, cooking, being outdoors at the beach or lake and being with friends and family! I am based in Napa but will to commute up to 30 minutes for the perfect fit!
