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.

Hello! My name is Nina, and I’m a 22-year-old passionate about working with children. I’m currently seeking a full-time nanny position, ideally starting in July or August. I have a deep love for teaching and nurturing children as they grow and develop. I bring diverse experience to the table, having spent a year as a full-time special needs nanny in Ireland, followed by another nine months working as a nanny in New Zealand. In addition, I come from a large family with five younger siblings, ranging from 14 to 1 year old, and have been babysitting since I was 14. I’m currently out of the country with a gap year missions program, I’ve had the opportunity to work with children in various capacities. I spent three months in Peru supporting orphanages, leading Vacation Bible School (VBS), and teaching children’s church. I am now in Spain, working with refugee and immigrant children to help them learn English and express themselves through art. In my personal life, I have a deep appreciation for art, spending time outdoors, and reading. I’m looking for a family that values these things and would like me to help foster an environment that encourages creativity and learning. I have gone through first aid and cpr training, I am reliable and have a license! I also have experience working with children with special needs and twins. If you have any questions or would like references, please feel free to reach out—I would be happy to share more about my experience.

Hello! Thank you for considering me for your position! I am a 30 year old mama of two boys (2.5 and 8 months) and am looking to bring in some extra income while also being present in my kiddos' lives. I was a nanny before coming a mom and also have experience in a preschool/childcare setting. I am super comfortable with kids of all ages, have previously been certified in CPR and first aid, and can provide plenty of references. Some fun facts about us...we live on 40 acres where we run a small hobby farm with cows, goats, chickens. We love being able to be a little less reliant on others and provide for ourselves. Outside time is a must for us and we also like to bake, have water play, and color/do crafts!
