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.

Hi there! My name is Adrienne and I am a professional nanny and most recently a special education paraprofessional. I am trained as an infant teacher in a Montessori school and Primrose schools. I have my infant and toddler CDA (Child Development Associate), CPR and First Aide, and a certified caregiver. I have spent many years with children aside from my own, including special needs as both a . paraprofessional and behavior technician. I am looking to grow with a family and help in anyway I can. I know how busy this world can be today. If I can offer assistance to help I certainly will. My philosophy is simple. My job is to teach each child to be the most independent they can be! My job is to teach patience, encourage curiosity and most of all help develop the abilities to begin to learn all about the world and their place in it! I have extensive knowledge in potty training a toddler! I can do it in 1-2 days! Reach out if I can help in any way.
