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 my name is Oriah and I am very passionate about kids. I love kids of all ages but especially love babies. I have recently graduated from UNH with a degree in Human Development & Family Studies and a minor in Anthropology. I have an array of experiences working with children. I have newborn experience, and have had long term nanny positions with multiple families. I also have experience working at a preschool. I am patient, energetic and goofy. I love art and being creative as well as the outdoors. I think it is extremely important for children to develop a loving relationship with nature and the outdoors. I think the most important factor for a babysitter and a family is to have open communication. I hope you consider hiring me as your babysitter because I truly enjoy working with children. Please message me if you need help! I am currently looking for 30 hours a week this fall.

Hi! Since graduating from Brandeis University in 2022. I've been a pre-k teacher in Honolulu, HI. My first babysitting gig was watching my younger sister for my mom growing up. I babysat for others throughout high school and worked as a nanny while in college. I am excited to transition back to working with a family (or families) on a more personalized level again as I look for a position here. I am currently pursuing my PhD in Occupational Therapy and am lucky enough to currently have a relatively flexible schedule upon moving to Maine in July!
