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 worked at a daycare for two years and worked around children since 2018. I have worked with kids in various capacities including a youth home and worked with children with disabilities one on one. I babysat my niece and nephew when they were infants to school age. I have CPR/first aid training and I have been working with pets for 4+ years. I have been on Rover and am currently a star sitter. I also have been a janitor for at least 2 years and am good at cleaning and doing household chores.

Hi! My name is Shelby, I’m 22 years old, a mom myself, and I have a true passion for caring for children. Being a mother has given me firsthand experience in understanding the patience, love, and attentiveness children need to feel safe and cared for. As both a caregiver and a mother, I understand how important it is to find someone who is patient, trustworthy, and genuinely caring. I have experience with children of all ages and can help with everything from bottles, and meal prep to bedtime routines, sleep strategies, playtime, and daily care. I believe every child deserves patience, kindness, and a nurturing environment where they feel safe and understood. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment where children feel supported, cared for, and happy while also giving parents peace of mind and reassurance knowing their little ones are in loving, dependable hands. I strive to make every family feel comfortable and confident by providing attentive care, patience, and a positive space where children can feel secure and truly be themselves.
