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.

I am 23 years old from Chesterton , IN and I have loved children for as long as I can remember. I started babysitting when I was 14 and have nannied ever since. I also come from a Montessori background, so I am able to share that knowledge with your children. I worked in the toddler room as a directress and did nap and after school care as well for four years. I am CPR certified and get along great with animals! Willing to provide a background check as well.

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.
