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, my name is Sheri. I'm 58 years old. I am a compassionate, reliable, easy-going, loving and fun childcare provider with many years of experience. I have experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers and children of all ages. I also have experience with children and young adults with special needs, including autism. I have three beautiful children. I have two grown sons and a 19 year-old daughter. I am a non-smoker, with reliable transportation, a valid driver's license, and current auto insurance. I have CPR and First Aid training. I am very pet friendly, and love dogs, and all animals. We have four rescued dogs, five cats, two goats, eight chickens, and a rescued pigeon named Jeremiah. I am a nurturer by nature. I love music, reading, nature, people-watching, and spending time with my pets and family. In the past, I have owned my own home day-care business, been employed as a nanny, worked as a Special Education Aide, and as an after school caregiver for children with special needs. As a Special Education Aide, I was often assigned to be a one-on-one Aide for children with particular behavior problems (such as biting, bolting, or otherwise acting out) and was responsible for staying very close, and constantly supervising the child for their safety, and the safety of the other children and staff. I loved that job, and the children. I am extremely confident in my abilities, and am a caring, patient person with a good sense of humor, lots of common sense, and real world experience. The safety, happiness, and comfort of the children I care for is my utmost priority, and I take pride in being a trustworthy, kind, competent caregiver. I have excellent references.
