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 Im Ulani and I am a compassionate, loving go with the flow young woman who absolutely adores children and discovering their likes and dislikes and their unique personalities. I believe that a child should be themselves with a babysitter and shouldn’t hide who they are. I love creating bonds with not only the children but the parents too. If you’d like to have a phone interview I would love to do so. I will also share my previous work history as a nanny.

Hi there - I currently am a Kindergarten teacher who is planning to return to school for my Masters in Behavioral Analysis with the hopes of becoming board certified within the next two years. I graduated in 2020 from Ball State with a BS - Early Childhood Education. My current teaching license is valid for children of ages ranging from birth-8 years old (3rd grade). My love of working with kids began when I was in 6th grade and never looked back. I have worked in various settings including: summer camps, tutoring, preschools, assistant teaching, day care faculties, and nannying for families both long term and short.

I have over 20 years of experience in childcare,I have worked with several families over the years and have excellent references and a letter of recommendation to provide from my last nanny position. In addition to previous nanny and sitter experience, I'm also a Mom of six children and have a genuine love for children of all ages. My desire to help others has always been very strong and that's one of the main reasons I enjoy working in the childcare and nanny field. It allows me to work closely with families in need of assistance and I find that to be very rewarding.

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy caring for others, especially children. It’s incredibly rewarding to play a role in a child’s development, whether that’s helping them learn new things, encouraging their creativity, or just making them feel safe and loved. Every day is different, and I love the energy, curiosity, and honesty that children bring. I also enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with both kids and their families.
