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.

I truly enjoy being a sitter because it allows me to connect with families and provide them with the peace of mind they deserve. Caring for children gives me the opportunity to create a positive, nurturing environment where they can learn, grow, and have fun. It’s incredibly rewarding to know that I can be a trusted part of a family’s routine, helping parents feel confident when they need time for themselves, knowing their little ones are in safe hands. I’ve received CPR and First Aid certification, which ensures I’m ready for emergencies and can handle medical situations calmly and competently. I pride myself on being patient, attentive, and empathetic, creating an environment that promotes trust and comfort. I’m also skilled in conflict resolution, and I know how to deal with any issues calmly and diplomatically. Whether it’s helping with schoolwork or organizing arts and crafts, I bring a range of skills to create enjoyable and enriching experiences for children.
