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 have extensive experience as a caregiver for children, animals, and the elderly. In my current role as a paraprofessional, I specialize in working with children with disabilities, specifically those with Autism and ADHD. I am First Aid/CPR certified and maintain all relevant ADA/ AEA certifications. A background check was recently completed, and while I passed, I believe the current badge misrepresents my report. I am concerned that motor vehicle violations from 2021 are negatively impacting the badge status, despite not reflecting my professional caregiving capabilities. I am happy to share my full report for further clarification.

Isabelle went above and beyond for us! Our son is autistic so we have never had a babysitter before and Isabelle was so great with him and our other children. She even put away the toys and did some cleaning after putting the kids to sleep.

I am a in search for a new beginning, I love taking care of my fur babies as well as others. I on occasion babysit a family friends' granddaughter and used to babysit a friends' twins, as well as for my siblings at times. I am really good with children and animals i am very attentive to what their needs may be. I have taken college courses in both psychology and developmental psychology, oral communications, first aid, and cpr class while pursuing career paths that I will continue to pursue on the side in the near future. In the meantime, I want to do something that I love doing, which is taking care of other people and animals. I love babysitting because I am excellent with children or caring for others. I'm very honest, dependable, empathetic, understanding, and patient, which are all good things to have when caring for anyone of any age. I look forward to hopefully meeting new people and providing dependable care for your families.

Hi my name is Addy! I started babysitting when I was 12 and since then have worked at a daycare for 3 years as well as a children’s play center for 3 years as well! I’ve worked with all ages but at the daycare I mainly worked with infants, toddlers and two year old! I’m CPR certified and trained in first aid! I love giving kids the opportunity to have fun while still teaching them important age appropriate skills. The child’s safety is and will always be my top priority. If you are looking for someone reliable as well as kind and caring I would love and appreciate the opportunity to look after your kids!!
