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.

Juliana did a great job taking care of my 2 year old and my 5 year old. She brought a bag of toys with her that were a big hit. She was as accommodating as she could be at the last minute which I appreciated as well.

Hi! My name is Lauren, I am 32 years old. I have lived in various areas around the lake, and am always happy to travel around the lake for the right job. I'm an experienced nanny of 10+ years and will connect you with furthered references if needed! Beyond childcare, my background is in art + mental health. I have worked at therapeutic boarding schools, youth crisis homes, foster care, etc., and have CPR, first-aid and crisis intervention certifications. I enjoy doing crafts and playing outside, but I am truly down for whatever you and your kids are comfortable with. I have the most experience in nanny care with toddlers, and field experience in the aforementioned therapy jobs with young children, preteens/teens. I also have experience with infants and children with special needs. Currently I am only available for part time or one-time jobs, as I am also completing my Masters in Clinical Mental Health and have an accompanying internship. I enjoy nannying for the flexible schedule and experience with kids in a casual setting, as I feel this helps me connect further in my clinical settings. I’m comfortable with any pets, accommodating and flexible to any routines, and would love to get to know you and your family! Please reach out and let me know if you'd like to set up a phone call or FaceTime to chat more! :)

Hello! My name is Josie :) I live in the beautiful Lake Tahoe and working with children is my passion! My journey began with positive babysitting experiences and grew into a desire to make a real difference in children's lives. With three years of experience, I offer attentive care for one child at a time. I am patient, creative, and approachable, so I easily connect with children. I communicate with parents using their preferred method, whether that's a quick chat at pickup or regular updates via text. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules while encouraging fun through outdoor games, board games, and educational activities. I am currently in college studying elementary education with big dreams of working with kids and becoming a teacher one day! First Aid Training, CPR Training, and Early Child Development Coursework. I'm also happy to help with cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, travel, and swimming supervision. I am willing to use my skills to provide a safe, enriching environment for your child.
