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.

Hello! My name is Kenzie, and I live in Winterport. I have a 2 1/2 year-old daughter and three stepchildren aged 5 to 8. From 2015-2025 I worked for a family in Bangor as a nanny for their three children. The youngest wasn't born when I started and she just turned 10, so along with her older siblings I have experience with every age as a nanny as well as my four children. They moved in September of last year which led me to part time nanny position in Brewer which will be ending mid February. I will be more than happy to provide references from both families. My ideal fit would allow me to bring my daughter with me. She is a sweet and silly 2 1/2 year-old and has had no trouble fitting in with any of the kids I have taken care of. I am reliable, responsible and love to form close bonds with the kids I nanny. I am always punctual and willing to be flexible. I do not mind helping with some household chores and light meal prep. I love to bring the kids to the park, the library for story time, the museum, play dates, etc.
