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.

I love kids and being a positive influence on young minds. I have a 8 month old baby brother who I have helped take care of since the day he was born and it’s always been a joy. I also have many younger siblings.
