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.

I am a compassionate, caring, and God-fearing caregiver with over six years of hands-on, paid experience caring for children from infants to kids through age 15. I have extensive experience with all aspects of childcare, including diaper changes, bottle feeding, nap, bedtime routines, after school care, and overnight stays while parents are away. I am comfortable caring for multiple children at once and I have experience watching up to three children at a time. I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment. I love spending time outdoors with kids, encouraging play and creativity. I am also very comfortable working in homes with pets. I have been around animals my entire life riding horses since age seven and owning horses for fourteen years and counting. I rodeo with my horses and did eight years of 4-H, showing horses and rabbits. I have raised many farm animals along with dogs and cats. I bring a vibrant yet calm presence into the home and take pride in being dependable, attentive, and loving. Caring for children is truly a passion of mine, and I am dedicated to providing families with reliable, compassionate, and high-quality care they can trust

Hello! I have over 1 year of experience as a nanny and with a set of twins! I started last year when they were 6 months old and up until recently at 19-20 months old. I worked part time for the family I nannied for due to my current schedule with being in grad school. I worked every Monday-Wednesday, 8-4 for them. I am skilled in participating in playful activities, diaper changes, mean/snack prep, and sleep schedules/sleep training (I worked side by side my nanny family as they were sleep training the twins). This is what I am experienced in, but am completely open to working with other age groups! I also have my Bachelors degree in Nursing, as well as my RN license, and I also minored in Psychology. I have almost 2 years of nursing experience, specifically in the NICU, Labor and Delivery, and Postpartum. Because of my nursing background, I am equipped in medical knowledge and am able to provide additional or more extensive care. If that type of care is something you are looking for, I am happy to talk more about my rate as this would require more care and as it would go beyond standard/typical nanny duties. I am also factoring in my nursing background and nanny experience with twins into my rate. However, depending on what you are looking for we can discuss rate at that time! I really enjoy being around kids and helping aid in their development. I am very patient, compassionate, and caring. Being in grad school, I have learned even more about human development and how important providing a safe, nurturing and loving environment is for children. I believe it's important to maintain that kind of environment and would love to be apart of your family in helping provide that to you!
