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 Emily, I'm looking forward to meeting a great family that I can help provide great child care for. I decided to get into child care for the simple fact that kids are great. I love them and they seem to like me a lot! I'm 28 and I've been babysitting since I was 14. I've sat for family members, friends and friends of friends who have recommended me to others. I've gone from babysitting whenever needed to full time nanny 4-5 days a week. I am very flexible. I am a certified babysitter through the Red Cross as well as CPR certified through the American Heart Association (including infant). I also have an Associates in Hospitality. I am open to providing whatever type of service you need. If we arrange a meeting just let me know just what you are looking for and I can arrange my schedule to fit. Feel free to ask for anything.
