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.

Drop off childcare, any time Monday- Friday. Hi! My name is Bryana Rivera and I’m a reliable, caring, and experienced childcare provider with over 13 years of babysitting experience.

I have been growing ups with younger children my whole life! I love younger kids and growing up around little cousins and siblings have made me realize I want a career with them. I am the oldest of 4 kids, my two youngest brothers are twin boys who are 6. We are 12 years apart so I have been watching them since I was in 6th grade. I babysat for families around my neighborhood until I was in about 9th grade. Once I got my license I worked at a daycare in the summers all of high school for kids the age of newborn through 5 years old. The summer before college I nannyed for a family with a 7 year old and 9 year old. I have first aid and CPR training. I always love building bonds with children and getting to spend time with them makes me so happy!

I have played many roles in my 7 years as a child educator, from helping infants with basic care needs such as diapering, eating, and sleeping all the way to teaching 1st graders how to read, write, and basic math skills. I received my bachelors degree in early childhood education from EIU in 2019 and have been CPR certified several times in my different placements. I enjoy crafts and time outside, but can also follow the child’s wants and needs for playtime. I will be attending night classes, so I am only available until 4:30 each day. I would love to get to know your family and see if we would be a good fit!
