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 am a patient, caring, nurturing kind of person! I have been told I was born a nurturer at heart. This led to my 10 plus years experience caring for and teaching children. I was also a stay at home mom for my own two children L and S. I have a degree in Elementary Education and am an up to date, licensed teacher. I am also certified in Orton-Gillingham reading approach and CPR. When not nurturing children I'm nurturing pets and plants! I have my very own zoo, two dogs, two cats and three birds. I love spending time gardening, reading, and creating. With my experience and qualifications I can help you give your kids the warm, caring environment you want them to have while you are away. My focus is on a fun, educational and safe place for children to be happy and grow.
