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 love being a sitter because kids teach me a lot like they teach me how to composure my patience if that makes sense and I love watching them grow up What experience do I have so I have a lot of experience I can do homework. I can change diapers. I know how to play with kids. I know how to cook so I can teach them how I just know how to do a lot of skills that I can teach kids how to do so when they grow up, they know. What skills in training do I have so the skills and training I have are watching over if my friends or the people that I’m babysitting are fighting or doing something I go over there and I tell them that hitting your friends isn’t nice hitting your siblings isn’t nice. I just know a lot about babysitting and I just wanted learn more.
