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 there! My name is Destiny, I’m 26 years old. I have my Associates degree in Early Childhood Education, and I am currently going back to get my Bachelors in Elementary Education. I worked as a GA Pre-K teacher for three years, and before that I worked as a Special Education Paraprofessional. I just recently moved to Indiana where I have been working in with preschool age children. I’ve been babysitting for many years, starting back in the beginning of high school (including my two younger sisters.) I have experience with children from birth to 7 years old. I love expressing myself creatively so I believe music, art, and dance are incredibly important to incorporate into childcare. I also enjoy doing science with kids and working on letters! I speak Spanish and I would love to continue to learn more and be able to practice with the children I watch. If you have questions please feel free to reach out.

Hi, my name is Ray and I’m 32 years old, happily married and have 3 beautiful children of my own. I absolutely love children and have been working as a babysitter/nanny for about 12 years on and off. Before I had my own children, I worked as a medical assistant for a family practitioner and worked mainly with infants and children. My children are a little older now so I have more flexibility and I’m excited about the opportunity to help out another family again! I’m active, love being outside, and love all kinds of pets!
