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've been work with kids since I was about 12 years old and in professional childcare for about 2 years now. I've worked as a teacher's assistant in two facilities, one elementary/middle school (Hanrahan Elementary), one preschool/infant care (Little Sunshines Playhouse), and a week-long stay-away summer camp with high schoolers (Kids Across America). I'm CPR certified through the American Heart Association and have put those skills to use before. I've also owned pets (cats, dogs, and fish), so I'm more than willing to work with kids and animals! Alongside my prior experience, I'm in the process of getting my education degree/teaching license! Lastly, for your kids with special health needs, I have experience in special needs children and specific medication administration as I have a chronic illness as well! Thank you for your consideration!

I love being a babysitter because I enjoy caring for infants and helping them feel safe, comforted, and loved. I find it very rewarding to support early development and give parents peace of mind knowing their baby is in gentle, attentive care. I have experience caring for infants, including feeding, diaper changes, soothing, nap routines, and closely monitoring safety. I am attentive to cues, follow established routines, and provide calm, nurturing care throughout the day. Gentle, patient, and nurturing • Attentive to infant cues and needs • Reliable and safety-focused • Comfortable with feeding, diapering, and sleep routines • Calm, loving presence for infants

I’m 19, I grew up with 7 siblings and very busy parents, being the eldest girl I was always the one taking care of my siblings in any way I could. I got the kids dressed, fed them meals, took them to sports, ect. Growing up I also helped with most of the house work, helping clean up after my family which I loved. When I was old enough to get a job I took that experience and start babysitting and nannying. I also got a job in early childhood education. I taught ages 1-14 swimming skills, safety, and general pool knowledge. I have experience with special needs I worked for a family with three autistic boys for a year. I’ve been working with kids my whole life and I’d like to continue.
