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'm an energetic babysitter with about 13 years experience. I have much experience in early childhood teaching with an AS in Early Childhood Education. I have passed all background checks to work in the preschool setting at three different local establishments over the past 8 years. I love to incorporate music (I play guitar) and outdoor exercise with varied activities when caring for children and I would love to meet your family see if we would be a good fit! Thanks!

Kara was one of the best nannies I could’ve ever asked for! She was great with my two boys from keeping them active to helping with homework. Kara really cares for children and loves what she does and it shows! Good sitters are hard to come by and Kara isn’t just a sitter she’s a caregiver and teacher. If you want someone who cares then you want Kara!

I am a 24 year old female and I have just finished my bachelor of science in Food Science & Human Nutrition at the University of Florida. I am looking to take the next year to work before I apply for either a dietetic internship or nursing school. I babysat two boys (ages 6 & 8) for several years in high school, and I have experience watching my nephew who is now 2 years old. I enjoy sitting for younger children (1-2 years old) as well as elementary school age children. I do not have any pets or children of my own, and my availability this next year will be quite flexible. I speak Swedish fluently and I will be more than happy to teach your children if you would like me to. I am an active person and enjoying spending time outdoors as well as playing sports. In addition to watching your children, I can do light housekeeping, laundry, as well as prepare meals. I can also assist with homework if your children are in school.
