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.

Hi! My name is Islynn (I-Lynn) , and I’m a dedicated, trustworthy, and nurturing nanny with extensive experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve had the pleasure of working with multiple families on a recurring basis, especially for date nights and occasional care, which has helped me build strong relationships based on trust and consistency. One of my greatest strengths is my ability to prioritize and manage schedules effectively, ensuring that children stay on track with routines while still having plenty of time for fun, creativity, and play. Whether it’s bedtime, meals, schoolwork, or free time, I understand how to balance structure with warmth. More than anything, I genuinely love spending time with kids. I find joy in their curiosity, imagination, and energy, and I strive to create a safe and engaging environment where they can thrive. I take pride in being someone families can rely on, not just for dependable care, but for someone who treats their children with kindness, patience, and respect. If you’re looking for a nanny who is both responsible and genuinely passionate about what she does, I’d love to connect and see how I can support your family’s needs.
