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 fun and imaginative caregiver! I love working with kids, even though admittedly they can be tiring and wear a person out, but they're also fun and it's a special experience seeing the world through their eyes and interacting with kids and using my own imagination to encourage their imaginations. I started working with kids when I was 15-years-old. At an interview I had for a nannying position I was asked if I have a child care philosophy, and while I don't exactly have one, I don't like just putting a child in front of the tv; I much prefer laying and interacting with the child(ren) I am caring for. Occasionally I don't mind putting on a pre-approved movie or show if that has already been arranged with the parent, but that is more of a special occasion thing.

Hi- I am a SAHM of a 6 and 3 year old. I am looking for a child to watch in our Jtown home. I currently watch a little boy 2 days a week and it has worked out great!

I've watched several different kids in my home over the years, since having my kids. I'm available to start ASAP. I look forward to hearing from you!
