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.

Hello! I’m Madigan, and I'm a recent graduate from Mount Holyoke College, with a degree in biology and studio art. This summer, I'll be working as an environmental educator at the Center for Coastal Studies in Provincetown (where I teach kids and families about the marine ecosystems of the Cape!). I held the same position last summer while babysitting and nannying on the side, and it was a wonderful experience. I love sharing ocean facts, leading fun hands-on activities, and helping children explore the natural world around them. I have nine years of hands-on childcare experience and have worked with children of all ages in a variety of settings. My experience includes nannying two toddlers for a summer, leading full-day marine education programs for children ages 8-12, working at an overnight YMCA summer camp with campers ages 7-14, and working as a live-in supervisor for a college-prep summer program for high school students. I also spent three years working with a children’s theater program, where I learned tons of creative games, activities, and ways to keep kids engaged. I am CPR and First Aid certified for both infants and adults. I am confident supervising children of any age, keeping them entertained, and maintaining a clean environment. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently to ensure your kids are safe, engaged, and having fun! I’m also great with pets, a licensed and responsible driver, and have housekeeping experience as well. I look forward to connecting with families on the Cape this summer!

I love children! Been nannying and babysitting for over a decade. I managed a circus camp for school aged kids in Cape Cod, Massachusetts for the past 8 years. I am also a professional circus artist that specializes in the trapeze. I am all about fun, adventure, learning from experience and nature. Kids need lots of love and attention and the right environment to test their own limits. I have excellent attention to detail, I learn quickly, excellent communication skills and I’m creative to a T. I’m not above humble tasks and I understand raising kids is a constantly evolving animal. I have experience with all ages of babies, children and teens. Can’t wait to meet you!
