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.

Mayra has done excellent with my boys allowing the wife and I some needed rest and time together. She entertains them and teaches them along the way. She sticks to all bedtimes which sometimes can be a challenge with my kids. 10/10

I am an experienced master science educator and would love an opportunity to care for children who are outgoing and fun. I want to be able to entertain and enjoy caregiving. I have 2 sons ages 10 and 12 who may be able to tag along and go on adventures if the parent is interested in play dates. I love the waterpark and the beach and incorporating outdoor education into our time. I have been caregiving since I was a teenager and would love for up to 2 more kids to tag along on adventures or be able to spend time with them at their residence. I am leaving this open as an option. I am an experienced outdoor educator as well and can offer lots of extra opportunities for engaging science education.
