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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been passionate about education and making a positive impact on our youth. My experience with tutoring, shift-work, over-night stays, school drop-off/pick-up, and curriculum implementation genuinely fulfill my love for kids.

I have a genuine passion for working with children and have been surrounded by them my entire life. Growing up as one of the eldest cousin, I gained extensive experience babysitting for family and friends, which has naturally led me to seek a part-time nanny position while I complete my degree. In highschool I worked one-on-one with children who have special needs, an experience that has been incredibly rewarding. I also have 2 special needs cousins who i absolutely ADORE. I am currently pursuing a career in speech-language pathology with the goal of working within the school system after graduation. Outside of my studies, I also love sports and i am committed to my faith, which remains a central part of my life
