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 families! I’m Maddie, and I love being a nanny!! I’ve babysat/nannied for 5 years consistently and I honestly love it so much. I have experience with all ages, genders, and personalities! As much as I can teach, I also learn so much from kiddies. Some of my top priorities as a caregiver are patience, consistency, and genuineness. I have a reliable car/transportation, a full license to drive kids anywhere, I’m CPR, first aid, and lifeguard certified through the YMCA. I’m super super artsy and creative, so I have tons and tons of crafts or activities for entertainment other than screen time! I have plenty of references to send your way as well :))
