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.

I love helping kids learn how to navigate the world and watching them grow into their personalities. I've babysat since I was 12, worked as a camp counselor for 3 years, and helped with after-school supervision at MCCSC for a little over a year. I have experience with children ages 1-12 and thrive on encouraging creativity and kindness whenever possible.

We had a great experience with Maya and would 10/10 recommend her to other families. She cared for our son on several occasions when he was a little over two years old. She is kind, patient, attentive, responsible, and very reliable. She was always easygoing and engaged with him through activities and play! She connected with him naturally and put us at ease! We truly appreciated having someone we could trust, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring babysitter.

Hi there! My name is Nicki, and I'm 25 years old. I graduated IU in 2019 with a bachelor's in Elementary Education and I have experience in Early Childhood education/care. At an Early Learning Center, I would be in charge of 10+ toddlers, so I am used to watching over multiple children. I have experience in changing diapers, feeding toddlers and infants, CPR/First Aid, nap times / safe sleep, and entertaining/educating children. I also grew up with animals, so I am comfortable around pets of any kind. I specifically have experience with cats and dogs. However, I did want to mention that I will only be able to help out until the end of December, as my healthcare classes will be starting back up. It is still about 5 months away, but I wanted to let you know as soon as possible!
