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.

$20–40/hr

Hello! My name is Bronlyn, I am 24 years old, and I’m a senior at Indiana University. I’m finishing up my bachelor degrees in Earth and Atmospheric Sciences and Anthropology. I love teaching kids, especially about arts and sciences! I have previous childcare experience as well as volunteer time with the biology outreach program which teaches kids K-2nd grade about biology. Something that I also love doing is art, when I’m not in classes I’m painting and creating new pieces. Something that sets me apart is that I was previously a CNA and a caregiver, so I have knowledge on what to do should a medical emergency arise. If you’re looking for a babysitter/caregiver that can help educate and be a positive role model for your child, I believe I can do that for you!
