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, parents! My name is Mia. I love being around kids and pets! I have had the pleasure of baby sitting kids before ranging from a couple months old to 15 years old. I truly love working with children and I enjoy helping parents out by taking care of their kids. Nothing makes me happier than running into a family who i used to baby sit for and remembering all the fun times we had together. I have a pretty open schedule so times and days can be discussed. I have flexibility to work two Saturdays a month if needed. I can provide references upon request. I'd love to meet you and get to know your children. I am also first aid and CPR certified.
