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.

ared for those as young as 1 month and as old as 13 years. I also have experience with caring for multiple children, 4 children on a regular basis (4 month old twins, 4 year old, 6 year old). The most I have watched at one time was 14, and it was a BLAST! In my past jobs, I have been responsible for making meals, bedtime routines/napping, homework help, and creating activities/games for child development and just all around fun in general! I have always loved taking care of children, since I was 6. I would help my mom at the church daycare when I was little, and it was pretty much all I looked forward at the time haha. I love being able to have any part in a child’s life and development! I am so happy and willing to take some and any stress off of you as parents. Being able to work, have date nights, run errands, etc. while knowing your child is safe and in comforting arms, is truly the least I can do. I’m also more than happy to help with chores around the house/running errands for you! Thank you very much for your consideration :) References available upon request!
