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.

Margarita/Mags here! As far as credentials go I have 10+ years of experience. As a child I cared for my younger sibling then went on to babysit for family friends in my adolescent and teen years. I am 32 years old and I have a child of my own, my son is 7 years old. Majority of my career, I have worked in healthcare and have lots of experience with caring for children. I am comfortable with children of all ages and intellectual capacity. I am currently working as an RBT with kids who have autism and/or intellectual/physical disabilities. I have my own vehicle no criminal background and a clean driving record. Qualities about me that make me the ideal person to care for your children are: I am responsible, honest, patient, caring, loving, warm and have lots of compassion to give. I enjoy the outdoors but also love crafting, board games and animals. I enjoy doing activities with children that stimulate their brain and get their imagination flowing. I am happy to assist in potty training, preparing snacks or meals (I love to cook), nap time, laundry and picking up/dropping off to and from appointments and/or summer programs or sports. I am looking to bring the right family the relief and support they need and deserve. As a mother I understand how difficult it is to juggle all of life's tasks, even more so while raising a child.
