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.

Nurturing a child's development and making a positive impact on their daily life is what I am striving to create. With 10 years of experience caring for up to 5 children. I offer a patient, calm, and creative approach to childcare. I have CPR Training and am fully comfortable enforcing your household rules to ensure a consistent environment. I took a 2 year CCMA course and have my MA. I grew up with a very large family with 16 cousins. I am very family oriented and love to take care of kids and people of all ages. I also worked in a private nursing home for 2 years and for a Down syndrome woman. I absolutely love building relationships with the people I care for and making work apart of my life. I'd love to assist with meal preparation, housekeeping, and crafts. I will supervise during water activities. I prioritize your preferences for communication and will provide updates in the way that works best for you. I am eager for this type of work as it’s something that makes me excited to wake up for. I truly look forward to hopefully caring for your family!
