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.

Hi. My name is Jessica Dube and I’ve been a professional nanny since 1998. During these years I have worked with 5 wonderful families. The children were all of infant age when I started with them. Generally I stay with a family for 2-3 years. I love planning age appropriate outings such as trips to the library and playgroups. I’m a big believer in reading to your children starting at birth so that is one of my favorite activities. Infants are my specialty but I’ve worked with all age groups. If you’d like to hear more about me please reach out. My references are impeccable. Jessica Dube
