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 Amanda! I’m a mom of two boys and have over 10 years of experience working in childcare. I’ve worked in public school systems with children of all ages, giving me a strong understanding of different developmental stages and learning needs. I graduated from the New Hampshire Institute of Art with a bachelor’s degree in Painting and Education, and I love finding creative, hands-on ways to keep kids engaged.

I am an auntie, an educator, and a caretaker! I am an aunt to 17 —yes, 17 —nieces and nephews ranging from 1-year-old to 17 years old. I've been an aunt since I was 10, so I've always been around little ones and I love it! I love watching them succeed, share in their joy, and help carry the burden of sorrows. Plus, getting to watch little people grow into who they'll be as adults is just an awesome experience. During the school year, I am a special education paraprofessional who works with kiddos on the autism spectrum along with other learning disabilities. I am CPI, CPR, and First Aid certified.
