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 am a mother of 3 with my oldest being 24 and the other two are 20 and 16. I have worked with children in a school setting, church nursery, and babysitting settings. I know my purpose on the planet is to help people in any capacity I can. I have always had a passion for working with babies and children. I connect with them and understand them in a way that most adults do not. God gave me a heart for working with children. I am a certified FA/CPR instructor and also am certified in Stop the Bleed, which means I know how to identify and stop life-threatening bleeding. I have a degree in Photography and Art History from the University of Kansas. My experience with children mostly comes from having 3 of my own and working with them in school settings as a paraeducator. I have experience with children on the spectrum and that have physical disabilities. I also have worked with troubled teens. All in all, children deserve the best care and treatment, and I know in my heart I can give them what they need and deserve.
