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.

Hi! I recently graduated from Kansas State University with my Bachelor’s degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders. I’ve babysat for the same family for the past 5 summers, and since I’ll be staying in Manhattan for the summer, I’m excited to meet and work with a new family! I’ve always loved working with kids and creating a fun and caring environment where they can feel comfortable and be themselves. Through both my babysitting experience and my college coursework focused on child development, I’ve learned more about children’s daily needs. I enjoy keeping kids engaged through activities, play, and everyday routines. I’m currently looking for a weekday schedule for the summer and would love to find a family that’s a great fit.

I love working with young children and shaping them into amazing people as they grow. I also love being able to help parents enjoy time together or doing the things they love while knowing their children are well taken care of. I have been a sitter for 7 years before joining the military. I even had the opportunity to raise my brother from when he was 2 weeks old to 8 years old.
