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 a college junior looking to add a sweet family into my schedule during the school year! I have logged hundreds of hours both babysitting and nannying over the past six years with kids aging from 0-12. Aside from nannying, I am a dance teacher, and have gotten to teach classes for ages 18mo-16yrs for several years. I am currently going to school to become a speech pathologist in grade schools, so I can continue working with kids. While nannying, I love being active, doing art projects, baking, being outdoors, and making up silly games. I have been both CPR and First Aid certified, and have lots of experience with young babies as well as families with multiple kids. I have a reliable car and am able to drive kiddos, and I also am comfortable cooking meals, doing dishes, running errands, etc. Please reach out for references, or more about me!

I have over six years of experience caring for children of all ages, and I truly enjoy supporting their growth, confidence, and happiness. My background includes three years as a lifeguard and five years of teaching swim lessons, giving me strong safety awareness and the ability to work comfortably with kids in and out of the water. I recently graduated with a degree in Behavioral Health Science and will be continuing my education to earn my nursing license. I’m also able to assist with homework across all grade levels and enjoy helping kids feel capable and supported in their learning. Above all, I love creating a positive, fun, and safe environment. I strive to make every visit meaningful and enjoyable, helping kids feel happy, engaged, and excited for the next time we spend together.
