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! My name is Isabelle, I am 21 years old, and I reside in Atlanta, IL but will be moving to Farmersville, IL this May. I started out as a babysitter when I was 13 and over time I met more families and fell in love with my career in childcare! I have worked for so many loving, wonderful families over the years and have not yet found a group of kiddos that I didn't absolutely love caring for! I currently have two spots left in my summer daycare program. It is located in Farmersville, IL and will be ran roughly from May 22nd - August 18th. Our summer will consist of many fun, engaging activities such as trips to the park, walks/bike rides, water play, art and crafts, and of course popsicle breaks! Please message me with any questions or for a list of references!

Hello, im Sierra ! I’ve been babysitting for several years with kids of all ages—from toddlers to preteens. I’ve cared for little ones as young as a few months old (including potty training!) and older kids around 10. I’m great with nap times, bedtimes, and keeping kids busy with creative play. I also babysit my nieces and nephews regularly, so I know how to handle just about anything. I don’t mind helping out with light cleaning or tidying up while the kids play or sleep.I like keeping things organized and calm for everyone
