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.

Sara has been such an amazing addition to our family over the last year. She has cared for our infant daughter who adores her. She helped us navigate our daughters changing needs, teething, sleep schedules, and more. She is incredibly proactive and jumps in to help out whenever needed which has been such a huge help. She has also been so flexible with all of the changes throughout the pandemic which made navigating the unique work and school changes much easier! We are so sad to no longer have her with us but we know she will be able to provide amazing care for another family!

Are you looking for an occasional sitter? A summertime sitter? I’m a full time art teacher during the school year. I’m seeking occasional sitting positions and summer time sitting positions. Perhaps you need a date night or just need an occasional night out. I have CPR, first aid and epi pen training. I have raised my son and also two step daughters who are now adults. I had been a lifeguard when I was 16, of course all that training is expired, but I feel that those life experiences stay with you. I look forward to hearing from you. I am vaccinated for Covid-19

We met Sandie at the beginning of the pandemic through Dumpling, which is a personal shopping app. She was our food shopping angel during Covid and 2 years later not only does she still shop for us, but we have her occasionally babysit our 4 year old who loves Sandie! Flexible, thorough, and just all around a nice person.

Hi! I’m Jade, I’m 26 years old, and I’d love to help care for your little ones! I have a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and Youth Development, and I’m currently a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). I have hands-on experience working with children of different ages, personalities, and needs, including neurodivergent children and children with autism. My background has given me a strong understanding of child development, communication, behavior, and creating a safe and supportive environment for children to learn and grow. I’m very patient and understanding, and I believe every child is different and deserves care that is tailored to them. I’ve worked with children in schools, youth programs, childcare settings, and behavioral services. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and keeping them engaged with activities like arts and crafts, games, reading, baking, playing outside, and exploring new things together. I’m also comfortable helping with routines, homework, meals, bedtime, and whatever else your family may need. Being an RBT has also given me experience supporting children who may need extra patience, structure, communication support, or help navigating big emotions. I love getting to know each child and figuring out what makes them feel comfortable, happy, and confident. I’m a caring, dependable, and responsible person, and I take the trust that comes with caring for someone’s children very seriously. I’d love to get to know your family and hopefully become someone you feel comfortable relying on for childcare! ❤️
