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.

Good day! My name is Kassidy and I have been babysitting and occasionally nannying for just over 5 years including my siblings , neighbors kids, and just kids around my community. I have previously worked at a daycare taking care of infants to 5-year-olds and while there I made lesson plans , did crafts, help with homework, and all and all play and take care of children. I find myself to be hardworking , determined, honest , compassionate, and a great listener. If your looking for a babysitter or a nanny who not only cares for your child, but one that takes the extra time to just play and make sure that they are happy, I am your girl. I have been a nanny to 2 other wonderful families and would love to be apart of yours!

I love kids! keep them happy while fulfilling their needs is the goal. Showing them love but also building good motor skills. I’ve worked with kids practically my whole life. they bring me joy as i do in return. I have volunteered at daycare and babysat at a young age. I now work at Cross Gates in the Youth Activity Center. Working there grew my love for children. seeing all the different personalities and watching them grow really makes me happy. I only want what’s best for them.
