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 Grace and I am entering my final year at Loyola University Chicago where I am studying both neuroscience and psychology. I am on the pre-med track to hopefully become a pediatrician since I enjoy working with kids so much. I love being a sitter because I love learning about children and having fun with them. Each second I am with a kid, I feel like I learn something new. I want to gain a lot of experience working with children to help set me up on my career path better. What sets me apart is my dedication and optimism. If you ask anyone, I am always smiling because I find the bright side in everything and everyone. I have so much fun doing everything and I can't wait to spread my love and joy unto others.

Hello! My name is Wendelyn and I have been working in the early childhood profession since I was a teenager. I have my Associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education and am currently working on getting my Bachelor’s degree through an on-line program with Ball State University. I work as a lead teacher for a Head Start Program during the school year and am looking for work to do during the summer.

I love to sing, read stories, go for hikes, explore, go on outings to the library, zoo, children’s museums, etc., and can help out with extra household tasks if it doesn’t take time away from the children.
