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.

I have a wonderful experience with all ages and all needs of children. I have been a Nanny for 18 extraordinary years, and looking to continue my career. Over the years I have been looking after family and friends' children until I became a wonderful Nanny just 18 years ago. Working with children has taught me a great deal of patience and a number of significant challenges. I am very responsible, organized, reliable/dependable, honest, trustworthy person who strives to do the best. I also am outgoing, fun and loving. I wear my heart on my sleeve and would do anything for anyone. Being active in art, dance, singing, and the love of teaching/exploring with children is what fulfills my life.

Hi my name is Cecillia Reyes. I just graduated from high school and I'm really excited about the possibility of nannying ! I genuinely love being around kids and think I'd be a great fit because I enjoy planning fun activities, like going out and doing things, or finding a cool new craft to try. Plus, I grew up in a big family with lots of younger cousins, so I've got plenty of experience keeping little ones entertained and happy.
