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.

Mayra has done excellent with my boys allowing the wife and I some needed rest and time together. She entertains them and teaches them along the way. She sticks to all bedtimes which sometimes can be a challenge with my kids. 10/10

Hello, I'm a very responsible and caring person who enjoys helping others. I have cared for children of all ages throughout my life. A few of the last children I have cared for were, For 3 years, I cared for 3 children ages 5, 7 & 9 after school until 9 - 10 pm, and in the summer months, I would pick them up from camp and care for them until 9 - 10 pm, Unfortunately when covid came to the U.S. and everyone had to stay home and be quarantined that ended. I was a part time babysitter for a 2 year old girl and when her brother was born 2 years later I became his babysitter as well, years later I was a live-in nanny for him in Millbrook, NY so he could finish his last 2 years of grammer school in Millbrook, N.Y. instead of N.Y.C. where his parents live and work. He is now in college. I have been taking care of children of all ages for over 25 years. I would enjoy getting to know your family and helping to make life a little easier for you. I am comfortable with pets. I have references upon request. Thank you, Linda E
