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.

** NANNY RESUME AND REFERENCE LETTER AVAILABLE** Hi, my name is Jamie! I am an experienced nanny of many years. I am a very active person with many hobbies. I have done mixed martial arts for 6 years, and have been rollerblading since I was 5. Originally, I was pursuing a college degree in special needs education; However, when Covid occurred, I took a semester off and became a full time nanny. With full intentions of returning to school, I was not expecting the incredible and beautiful relationships that would develop with many different families over the next few years. I very quickly discovered that nannying was the perfect merge of teaching, life skills and emotional development, and so much more. I was raised in a good home, with two loving parents; after being adopted at the age of 4. It is through nannying that I have a much deeper respect for the familial unit, however that might look. As truly, it does take a village to raise good kids! I am excited to be a part of the team, and looking forward to meeting you.

Hi! My name is Courtney and I am a student at Xavier University in the honors program. I graduated high school a year early and have several years of experience babysitting children of all ages, including children with special needs. I am also a certified lifeguard, so safety is always a top priority for me, especially around water. In addition to childcare, I have worked in a law office for the past 2.5 years which has helped me become very responsible, organized, and dependable. I love working with kids, creating a fun and positive environment, and helping families feel comfortable and supported. I am also very comfortable with pets and enjoy staying active and engaged with children throughout the day. I am currently looking for a summer nannying position before returning to Xavier in the fall.
