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.

Hello my name is Gabe! I am a joyful and attentive caregiver with over 13 years guiding kids of all ages. I am a newborn care specialist and have extensive experience night nursing as well as staying with kids long term from infancy through graduation to Montessori or pre-k. My experience has taught me that children are happiest and safest in their own bodies and minds when they are consulted and involved in as many decisions as possible in their day to day. Safety goes hand in hand with the ability to effectively communicate and that is my top priority when I’m with little ones. I always use gentle guidance alongside firm boundaries. I have been cpr certified many times over the years as a foster respite care provider in Texas and camp counselor as well. My most recent employment was with a child I have babysat from age 4 until becoming her nanny at age 9 and she retired me at 12. I really enjoyed the navigation of social puzzles and schoolwork through these years and am so lucky I will get to continue to know and love her as she grows. All of my continued relationships with my nanny kids are gifts to me and I hope to become part of the family any time I’m invited into someone’s home.
