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.

Hi ! I'm a single mother to my daughter who just graduated from the Physician Assistant program at Marquette. Proud Mom here! I have over 20 years of babysitting and caregiving experience and am currently certified in Basic Life Support and First Aid. I grew up working at my mother's daycare center, where my passion for working with children bloomed. Over the years, I've volunteered in my church's nursery, taught Sunday school for Pre-K and Kindergarten, and cared for my daughter/nieces/nephews, as well as babysitting for friends and neighbors. I started my career as a professional caregiver over 10 years ago, so I have experience with anyone from infants to teenagers to the elderly. For the past few years, I have worked as a medical assistant in a variety of healthcare settings. To me, caring for children is very rewarding and I love what I do. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and my friends I am comfortable with pets. I have a reliable car and am able to help with homework, mealtimes, and light housekeeping. I value safe and fun experiences and love to incorporate learning into play and everyday activities. I Love making each day fun and kids smile. I'm a smiley bubbly positive person myself. I'd love to learn more about the ways I can specifically serve you and your family!
