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 value open communication with parents and will provide daily updates and share developmental milestones. To keep your child safe, I've recently completed my CPR and First Aid certification. My schedule is flexible and includes early mornings, late nights and weekends. Feel free to ask me for references and a recent background check upon request. Looking forward to meeting you :)
