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.

Hi! I’m Jada! I’m a reliable, patient, and caring babysitter who loves working with children. I have hands on experience caring for toddlers and school aged children, including helping care for my fiancé’s young son and babysitting my 8 year old niece. I enjoy reading stories, playing games, doing crafts, spending time outdoors, and creating a fun, safe environment where kids feel comfortable. For the past six years, I’ve worked in residential cleaning, where I’ve developed strong organizational skills, dependability, and attention to detail. I’m currently working toward transitioning into a career in childcare because helping children learn and grow is something I’m truly passionate about. I’m in the process of completing my Heartsaver CPR and First Aid certification and am excited to continue gaining experience while supporting local families. I pride myself on being responsible, trustworthy, and someone parents can count on. I look forward to meeting your family!
