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! My name is Olivia Flanagan. I am 19 years old. I am the oldest out of 12 cousins with the youngest being 8 months old, who I help with quite often. I babysat for a family in Plainfield, starting when he was around 7 months old, until our schedules no longer aligned. When I graduated high school I started working at a place called Piece by Piece which is a “school” for children with autism. At PBP I became a Registered Behavior Technician & received my CPR, First Aid & Safety care certifications. As an RBT my responsibilities were to ensure a safe & functional environment, collect data, implement behavior intervention plans & to teach & encourage academic, social & daily living skills. I absolutely LOVE working with children. With children I enjoy going for walks or to the park, playing with motor skill toys, simple crafts, watching them grow & learn, learning all the different personalities & reading. I’m looking for a family in need of a sitter whether that be full time or occasionally, I would love to help out. I am a non smoker. I have reliable transportation. No criminal or driving records. I am comfortable with all pets. If interested or have any questions at all please reach out. I look forward to hearing from you!
