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.

I recently moved from Hawaii after I did 2 years of college and I’m currently taking a break from school. I love being around kids, I have two little sisters myself and they are everything to me. I currently work a little amount of shifts at a coffee shop, but i’m available all weekdays. My schedule can be flexible if needed! I learned CPR my senior year of highschool. My mom is a teacher and I always helped in her classroom so I have experience with special needs as well. I’m experienced in all age groups, more with toddlers and infants. I’m skilled in diaper changes, cooking, I have my own car, and i’m very patient. I want to build a relationship with these kids and make sure your family feels a safe and comfortable environment! Feel free to reach out for any questions!

Hi my name is Amber! I have babysat for the past three years for all different ages. Friends, family, coworkers, and some people who reached in need of a babysitter. Babysitting for me isn’t really a job. I find my time enjoyable and hope the children find their time with me enjoyable too! I love having fun and doing/making activities for the kiddos and hoping to make memories with them! I have always loved being around children and making them laugh, have fun, and explore new activities that can be enjoyable and a form of entertainment. I am a very good multitasker and still have youthful energy that makes babysitting easier. I love getting to know the parents and the kids and spending time together.

I have great references of families I have worked with before, from both occasional babysitting to full-time nannying. I am comfortable with kids of all ages and am happy to be around any pets. My priority is making sure your kids have fun in a safe and loving environment.
