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.

Hello, I’m an experienced babysitter with a genuine passion for caring for children. My journey in childcare began early while helping raise my younger siblings, which instilled a strong sense of responsibility and patience. Along with childcare, I’m comfortable assisting with light household tasks and maintaining a clean, organized environment. I focus on creating a safe, engaging space where children can enjoy both fun and educational activities. I’m reliable, have my own transportation, and can assist with school pickups and drop-offs as needed. My schedule is flexible, as I work part-time as a realtor, allowing me to accommodate a variety of family needs. References from families I’ve worked with are available upon request.
