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 from ages 14-21 and as a babysitter when needed. I filled sippy cups, held hands, prepared meals, resolved conflict, listened to, and soothed littles from newborn-12 years old. I love getting to help navigate big emotions, answer silly questions, and guide all ages through forming heathy attachments. I've had a special interest in child psychology and development since I was young and love getting to apply my knowledge in real time. I've been pursuing a career in graphic design, but have really missed being a part of a child’s support system. something in me clicks into place and feels fulfilled when I get to play a role in a child's life. outside of work, I love to laugh and essentially have the personality of an 80-year-old eclectic grandmother. I value kindness, inclusivity, justice, and authenticity and would love to work with a family whose values align!

Hi! My name is Zeffyn! I’m a 28 year old trans man who loves working with children & making a difference in their lives positively. I would love to work for a family who is lgbtq+ friendly as that is part of my identity. I have had several years of experience with kids & absolutely love the time I’ve had working with them. Being neurodivergent as well has helped me connect with kiddos on a deeper level & understand how they’re feeling when it’s harder to navigate!

And an easy going newborn son! I am looking to nanny one child in my home part time. My home is always clean, baby/toddler proof, and we have lots of toys along with a playroom basement! Currently the family I nanny for does Tuesday/Thursday weekly at their house but my time with them will be completed around mid April so I can do MWF or after that any days M-F I will be free!

Hello! I have 2 adult daughters and a 5 year old grandson. I was in the medical field for over 15 years and took a break for personal and professional reasons. I’ve always loved children but after starting a job search again, I realized that I want to take care of them full time. I’m very patient and trustworthy. I’m not great at promoting myself so feel free to ask me anything!
