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.

Maria is a professional in what she's doing. From day 1 she managed my son's difficult behavior and made his day run smoothly, which has been unusual in a while. She's a wonderful nanny and can't recommend her enough.

Hi! I’m Anjali, I’m a 21 year old mom to a fun, sweet 1-year-old and am a full-time student at Sierra College. I offer child care, pet care, and household help. I’m creative, compassionate, and patient, and I love working with kids! I spent two years as a paraeducator with the Nevada County Superintendent of Schools, working with preschool through 8th-grade students with special needs. I’m also trained as a health aide with experience in seizure care and feeding tubes. I’ve babysat for many families, helped raise my three younger siblings, and taught swim lessons to ages 2–8 in Napa this past year. I’m comfortable with dogs, and love cats, and am happy to help with cooking, cleaning, and errands. I just moved back to Nevada County and would love to support local families

With over 20 years childcare experience I have had the privilege of nurturing and guiding children from various ages and backgrounds ranging from new borns to adolescence, preschool teaching, special needs and live-in. My extensive experience has equipped me with the skills to create a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment. I love outdoor adventures, creating age appropriate games and crafts, engaging with children on their level and creating a stimulating environment where children can thrive. CPR/first aid certified, ECE units and many early childhood certifications and trainings. I've been background checked, finger printed by the state and have many references and positive feedback from past families. I'm fun, patient, kind and creative. A mom of a beautiful 11-year-old daughter, an artist at heart, nurturing and caring. I'm a great fit for any family who really wants a great relationship with their nanny and wants the best experience for their growing little ones! -Deana
