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.

Hello, my name is Erica. I am looking for a loving family to help support in times of need. I would love an opportunity to spend time with your children exploring, crafting and singing. While also helping out with the family needs of cleaning and scheduled school pick-ups, and tutoring. I am CPR & First Aid certified. I have experience working with all aged children, I am comfortable with animals in the home, and I have my own transportation. I try to stay in a 15-mile radius to Lexington, KY or Georgetown, KY. I look for outdoor activities, however if it is raining, I create crafting projects and watch all the Disney movies on repeat. I am currently a Surveillance Officer; this keeps me alert and active for the safety and security of the children. Please send me a message if you have any questions. I am here and happy to help between the hours provided since I am on a set schedule at work that leaves me with availability during the day. Fun Facts: I love the color pink, I have a daughter, and effective communication is my best attribute. Thank you for reading, hope you have a blessed day!
