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.

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.

Hi! I have 0 years of paid experience listed because while I have done a lot of babysitting, it has been my younger siblings and kids of my friends. I have 5 younger siblings, and was very involved in caring for them from infancy on. I especially love caring for babies and toddlers, and they tend to be drawn to me. I have experience caring for triplets, infants, toddlers, middle-schoolers, and pre-teen/teenagers. I have helped parents potty-train and wean, and have helped kids learn to ride a bike, read and write, etc. I am comfortable caring for multiple children at once and am accustomed to including them in various tasks and activities. I am CPR certified and handle stressful and emergent situations very calmly and quickly.
