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.

Last-minute, school and tutoring, date nights—find the right babysitters for you.

A little about me, I have babysat children who have ranged in age from newborn to age 14. I have been a part time/occasional babysitter for many families, a part time nanny for two years in high school, a mothers helper for a newborn, an Au Pair in London, and currently a full time nanny in Cleona. Along with my experience I also have an Associates Degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. In my previous positions I have been responsible for driving the kids to practices, making dinners/meal prep, doing laundry, light house cleaning, helping with homework, and overnight babysitting. I am a very active babysitter who likes to make crafts, spend time outside, play games, read, swim, and find community events or activities for children to get involved with!
