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.

Last-minute, school and tutoring, date nights—find the right babysitters for you.

I’m a 45 year old mother of one boy and one girl, who started her career as a babysitter and special needs caretaker assistant. I’ve served as a volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters and spent countless hours volunteering on school campuses. I spent a decade working for state parks and took frequent and detailed safety trainings on numerous topics from poison control to burn care, fire safety, etc. On a personal note I enjoy many hobbies, animals and nature, love hiking and swimming, sports, and even play video games. I’m confident I can find a way to connect with any child. My Bachelors Degree is from Schreiner University in Kerrville, Texas, where I spent most of my adulthood. I have lived in Massachusetts for 3 years with my partner and our two cats. I’m happy to help with food prep & cooking, homework or housework or really anything the family needs. As long as we are communicating well and the environment is respectful, no job is too small.
