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 Cydney, a dedicated nanny with over 8 years of experience caring for children ranging from infants to pre-teens. And I have been nannying for over 2 years, however due to career changes for the parents I am no longer needed. But I love what I do and I believe in fostering a safe, nurturing environment that encourages curiosity, independence, and creativity through outdoor play and hands-on activities. I am passionate about child development and am looking for a long-term position where I can become an extension of your family. (I do plan on becoming CPR certified soon!)

I’ve loved caring for children from a young age, growing up as the oldest of three in a single-parent household where I naturally helped look after my younger siblings. Since then, I’ve gained extensive experience watching kids for teachers and coaches at my school, as well as serving as a nanny for my newborn cousin. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and my background as an education major has helped me develop skills to engage children in fun, educational, and safe activities. I take pride in creating a nurturing environment where kids feel supported, happy, and encouraged to explore, learn, and grow. Being a sitter allows me to combine my love of working with children with my commitment to safety, responsibility, and making every moment enjoyable.
