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.

Hi, my name is Aryianna and I just graduated college and am looking for a summer job before my job starts in September.

After 10 years playing, teaching, and exploring with my nanny families in New York City, I am so excited to bring my passion for childcare to Western Massachusetts! I began nannying while studying at NYU, hoping to lend a hand to busy families. I coordinated school pickups, facilitated playdates, survived many infant swim lessons, helped with homework, gallivanted around the park, devised at-home science and art projects, and stewarded children ranging from 9 months-13 years old through their social-emotional development and adjustment to the world. I am especially interested in and adapt at working with young queer and trans children, as well as sensitive, introspective, and/or shy children. My drive for nannying came from my experience growing up with a single mom: I saw firsthand how invaluable trusted sitters were for my development, and it would be a joy to become apart of your family's village!

Hey! My name is Ruby. I'm 22 currently living in Williamsburg, MA. I have several years of babysitting all ages, camp counseling and two years working as a teachers assistant at a nursery school for 3-5-year-olds. I'm patient and gentle with young ones, treating them with respect and understanding. I'm an open and honest communicator with families and enjoy creating a bond with those I care for. I believe every generation has something to teach the others. Children have beautiful and imaginative minds that I believe must be treated with respect and compassion. I have truly adored the bonds I've build with children. I have the most recent COVID booster and flu vaccine as well. I am CPR certified and know choking protocol. If you're looking for engaging, trustworthy childcare, I'd love to support your family.
