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 seeking available child care positions. I offer flexible care arrangements at either my location or yours, along with light housekeeping services and before- and after-school care. Please contact me to discuss your specific needs and I will do my best to assist. I have been providing childcare services for friends and family for the past 4 years. This year I secured my first daycare position and thoroughly enjoy it; however, I require additional hours beyond my current schedule. I am passionate about working with children and find their laughter infectious. I firmly believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn and smile.
