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.

I have mostly worked with Infant and in the beginning of my career for Early Head Start. I also worked with special needs children and their family as a service coordinator. I also have experience working with all ages as a Nanjy for Malahini Keiki care. I started with preschool age children while subbing in Texas and working for Creative Day Preschool. I have always working with kids. I started babysitting when I was 11 years old. I love how everything is new and watching their little minds taking in new information with the world around them. I am lead teacher and director qualified through Hawaii PATCH training. I have multiple trainings completed including safe sleeping and health and safety.
