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.

Hello! My name is Brittany Arrigo. I live in Evansville, Indiana. I graduated from F.J. Reitz High School in May 2012, where I took a few Child Development classes. During these classes, I was sent out into the community to study at field sites. I went to Sacred Heart Catholic Preschool, High Point West Daycare, and to Char's Busy Beez Home Daycare. At these field sites I learned how to properly care for infants, toddlers, and children around the age of 5. My specialty is smaller children, but I have experience babysitting older children too. I'm dependable, trustworthy, and responsible. I watch children as well as pets. I know basic first-aid and CPR. I watched children ranging from a few months old up to 13 years old. I have helped raise my niece since birth, and she calls me "DaDa". I'm comfortable watching multiple children at a time.

Hello! My name is Faith. I have an Associate's degree in Early Childhood Education, along with around 5 years experience working with children from newborn to school age. I have worked with children with severe ADHD, as well as children who have autism. My favorite part of the job is getting to be creative with planning activities. I strive to bring something new to do each day! In addition to taking care of the children, I also don't mind preparing healthy, kid-friendly meals or helping out with chores around the house.
