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've babysat throughout my teens, been a student teacher and have now been a pre-k lead teacher for 2 years. I have completed my CDA as well! I can cook, take care of some errands, work with your child on homework and have a blast with them while also keeping them safe! I am patient and caring and love to be around children.

Hello! My name is Kennedy, and I am a sitter located in the Clifton area. I love helping keep kids stay active both physically and mentally. Education through play is my favorite type of education and something I implement in my work with kids. I have experience working with kids six months to eleven years. I specialize in preparing children for pre-school/ pre-K, both scholastically and socially. Before becoming a sitter I worked at Kinderland Day care, in Batesville Indiana, with kids aged 1-4.

I love being a sitter because I enjoy spending time with kids. I have a passion for helping others and I connect with kids fast! I worked at the Cincinnati Zoo and did a ton of their summer camps. I spent time with kids from age 4 all the way up to 12. I also, have younger cousins. They are 6 years old, 4 years old, and 5 months old. I almost fully potty trained my 4 year old cousin and it was a quick success. I have worked with kids with special needs at their day programs. I have experience with profound autism, down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and much more. I am first-aid trained. I can meal prep food and do other household duties as well. I will be attending school this upcoming fall and I will be working in the emergency medical field. I take what I do very seriously and I make sure the kids are happy, healthy, and most of all having fun!
