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 helped raise my younger brother and sister who were born 13 an 14 years after me. I absolutely adore children, as my own daughters, who are all in college now seem to have no interest in making me a grandmother anytime soon.

Hi my name is Ahriyana, I’m 20 I grew up as a big sister that had to babysit my siblings from time to time , which is where I got my experience from. I’ve also been working at a daycare for a year now for all ages and that has added on to my experience with kids. I also have a 3 month old son name kaiser, so I’m more adapted with caring for kids. It was always instilled in me to be nourishing with kids, family, and friends and that’s why I chose this job description. To be a help for others in their busy lives would be a great opportunity for me. Right now I’m currently working 8 hours but being a nanny I can definitely do 12 hours or even overnight Monday through Friday and every other weekend when I’m free.
