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'm passionate about meeting kids where they are-physically, emotionally, and developmentally. Whether it's crouching down to their level or adjusting my approach to match their needs, I believe in communicating effectively and creating a positive connection. I've had the privilege of working with a wide range of ages and abilities, both as a YMCA summer camp counselor with large groups and through personal referrals, offering individualized care and supervision. I am especially passionate about nature-based play and enjoy helping kids explore and learn through outdoor activities. As a graduate student in Landscape Architecture with a B. S. in Brain & Behavioral Sciences, I bring a unique perspective to understanding how environments impact children's development. I strive to create nurturing, fun, and safe experiences that allow each child to grow and thrive in a supportive setting.
