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.

Hi I’m Jordan. I’m fun loving, reliable, and trustworthy. I have a big family, 6 other siblings, one of which is 11.5 years younger than me so I’ve got over 10 years of experience watching her. I’ve also babysat numerous times and helped out in the Sunday school of old my church. I’m very open to any of your suggestions. I think playing outside rocks but know how to have fun inside too. I’m pretty good at math and English so I can help your kids out with homework. I’m a pretty good cook and don’t mind whipping something up at all. I don’t mind cleaning either. Like I said I’m open to your suggestions so don’t hesitate to send me a message:)
