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.

Hello. My name is Laura & I'd love to be considered to care for your precious lil one. Prior to having my own children I enjoyed caring for other children of all ages. My goal in life was to be the best stay-at-home wife/mother I could be. I now have 3 beautiful happy young adults, 35, 33 & 29, one of whom has blessed me with two precious grandsons now 7 & 5. While my kids were young I also cared for other children so I could always be there for mine and help other parents who desired personal care & nurturing that is not always fully received at traditional daycare. When they got older, I began a career in Real Estate but found my true desire was still to care for others. I took a CNA class which afforded me the opportunity to care for the elderly which is also a passion of mine, however, I am not currently certified. I hope you'll choose me to continue my passion to care for your child as if my own. I can provide references for a number of families upon request. I've worked for a family with a child who had many medical issues and needed extra precautions taken for her immune system especially during the height of Covid-19. As part of training to be a CNA, I am aware of and still follow extensive hand washing & other sanitization methods to ensure the safety & health of your child, family and myself. Also, as part of my CNA training I studied CPR but I'm not currently certified but I intend to become certified asap. In addition, I have enjoyed nannying for different cultures & my grandsons are bi-racial so know that your child will be cared for the same as I would my own. When I Nanny for a family they become family to me. A family I was caring for unfortunately had to return their country yet we remain close to this day & still video chat & I'm hoping to accept their offer to visit their country some day & feel honored to have been invited to be a guest in their home. I would prefer to find a more extended opportunity to grow with a family either full time or part-time and/or for "date nights" and as needed as well. I am extremely flexible with my schedule & yours. If necessary, I’m able to travel with a family. I've been vaccinated for Covid & had my boosters, flu & pneumonia shot & other immunizations. I've also had my Tdap as I have cared for many infants & will continue to receive any/all scheduled vaccines & immunizations for the well being of your child & family. I am also a never-smoker. Distance is not an issue for the right family. ~ Laura

I am a patient, caring, nurturing kind of person! I have been told I was born a nurturer at heart. This led to my 10 plus years experience caring for and teaching children. I was also a stay at home mom for my own two children L and S. I have a degree in Elementary Education and am an up to date, licensed teacher. I am also certified in Orton-Gillingham reading approach and CPR. When not nurturing children I'm nurturing pets and plants! I have my very own zoo, two dogs, two cats and three birds. I love spending time gardening, reading, and creating. With my experience and qualifications I can help you give your kids the warm, caring environment you want them to have while you are away. My focus is on a fun, educational and safe place for children to be happy and grow.

I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy spending time with children and helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe, positive environment. Even though I’m a first-time sitter, I have experience caring for younger siblings, cousins, and family friends, which has taught me how to keep kids engaged, follow routines, and stay calm and responsible in any situation. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I enjoy creating fun, age-appropriate activities that keep children happy and entertained. I also take safety seriously and am familiar with basic first aid practices. I’m eager to continue learning and plan to complete CPR and First Aid certification to ensure I’m fully prepared to care for children responsibly.
