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.

I am a proud mom of four children whom I raised on my own. They are now grown, adults. At the age of 9, I was my mom's helper taking care of 18 children over a 10-year period, newborn to 16 years of age. I enjoy children, arts, crafts, music & dance. Originally from New York, I attended Art College at the age of 14. Graduated from a Vocational high school on Long Island. I am a graduate of Briarcliffe Business School. I now attend the College of Southern Maryland (CSM). I've worked in Washington, DC as an Admin Asst to the Inspector General. After the birth of my first child, I went back to work for the Department of Defense (DoD) at Fort Meade during Desert Storm. After my second child, I became a stay-at-home mom & had four children in six, and a half years, whom I raised on my own. Presently, I hope to find a family that can utilize my experience and that I can assist in Infant/Child Care, Senior Care, Housekeeping, Cooking, Home Decorating & Organizing. I have a background check, driving record, references, updated with all shots (letter), and a BLS Provider CPR/AED Basic Life Support Program certification. My hourly wage will depend on my job responsibilities with the family.

Hi I'm Savanna! I have been babysitting since I was Ten Years old. My love for taking care of kids started when I was about Six years old and my little brother was born. My mom wasn't around much, so I did most of the work when it came to raising my little brother, but I loved it. When my little brother was diagnosed with Autism, I was going to every therapy and doctor appointment and learning how to help him, and learning how to manage life with him. When I was around Ten, I started babysitting for the families in my neighborhood, since I was around the kids so much because of my little brother. I also love music and art, and I love being outside. I am a very activity oriented, I love doing hands on things like cooking, arts and crafts etc..
