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 have worked with kids of all ages throughout my Nanny career including multiples and children with developmental challenges.

I live in Evergreen. I’m the oldest of 7 children. I started babysitting outside my home at 9 years old. I had my own daycare business a couple of years when I raised my own 2 young children. As my children got older I joined my husband in the family business as a USPS highway contract driver with a split shift schedule which allowed me to nanny 2 children from infancy. I love taking care of children. I’m currently working full time nannying Monday through Friday. I’ve been nannying now for 8+ years. I’m currently employed full-time nannying. I am available to occasionally babysit in the afternoons and evenings on the weekends as well.
