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! I’m Jess, a nanny/babysitter with over 13 years of experience with charges from newborn to 21 years, as well as with multiples and special needs. I pride myself in being detail-oriented and a creative problem solver. My true love in working with children is fostering a zest for adventure and learning in children through age appropriate sensory exploration, learning games, and trips around the neighborhood and surrounding area. I recently renewed my CPR and First Aid certifications, observe safe COVID practices, and as a mental health worker by day, am vaccinated.

Jessica is wonderful. She's reliable and diligent. She's handled our two 8-year olds with warmth, patience and a firm but understanding hand. They both adore her -- and I've relied heavily on her.
