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.

Hi! My name is Payton and I am a 20 year old who is about to graduate with my BSW. I have worked with children professionally for the past two to three years and personally I am one of the oldest out of 7 siblings (including me). My most recent experience was working at a daycare for a year where I was a support staff for the infants from they were 2 months old to a year and a couple of months. I loved it there and I have references from the teacher I worked with! Plus some other references I’m happy to give! I am CPR certified First aid trained And I have a reliable car If you have any questions I’m happy to answer!

I have a semester of experience working with children in a school setting where I played educational games with groups of 1st and 2nd graders to help them learn and have fun while doing it. I am going to IU for elementary education so I really enjoy being around kids and helping them out with whatever they need! I also have a summer of experience where I babysat a 4-year-old every so often and sometimes was asked to also babysit their other child who was 2 years old. I am positive and very dependable. I can also clean up after the children or help prepare some meals for them!

Hello, I am currently a nanny for two young boys that I adore. I am pleased to say that over the course of time I have spent watching these children that I have gained valuable experience and skill sets that have made me a great nanny. Being a nanny takes an incredible amount of patience, a willingness to foster and encourage child development, and a natural sense of care for kids. One of the things I love most about my job is that I allow myself to be silly with the kids. This can range from pretending to be their favorite superhero, to bringing their stuffed toys to life. It is very important to accommodate to the individual child's needs and wants if it means encouraging healthy development. I have also maintained a great relationship with the parents. Strong communication skills are necessary for nannies to relay pertinent information so that parents are updated on any changes to a child's behavior.
