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.

Last-minute, school and tutoring, date nights—find the right babysitters for you.

Hi! My name is Isabel and I have been doing caretaking as a part time job for over 5 years now. I have experience from all age ranges and multiple kiddos at a time. I genuinely love to do this every so often as a way to connect with myself. It helps me be creative and kind, I appreciate that feeling the most. I understand the needs of a family very early on and am able to connect with children almost immediately. I am trustworthy, kind spirited, and approach things from a nurturing perspective. I have CPR training and worked as a RBT, I sometimes like to implement that training when it comes to behaviors. Overall, I believe in patience and love to take care of kids!

I decided to get into babysitting because I love being around kids and it was also a good way to pass time. I have babysat for various families within my neighborhood and I have also worked with children via a Teaching Assistant position at an elementary school as well. I’ve been babysitting since I was 16 years old and I am now 26 and a licensed Physician Assistanr. I have babysat children from 8 months old to 14 years old. I would take care of a variety of tasks such as picking up from school/after school programs, taking out to parks or various other places, making dinner, helping with shower/bath time, reading, and getting into bed. I also have a lot of newborn experience because I regularly took care of my nephew all the way from when he was a newborn to 3 years old now. I have a clean driving record and am fluent in English. I’m more than happy to call to talk and see if we are a good fit. I look forward to being able to care for your child!
