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.

Hey there! I’m Stacey, and there’s nothing I’d love more than to be able to help out families when I’m available. I've been around children my whole life! I was assistant to my mothers at home daycare for years. I was a nanny for six years to a wonderful family until they went off to school. I am still in contact with them today and still see them and watch them occasionally which is always a treat! My mother and I ran a daycare together up until we closed in August of 2021 since all of our daycare kids grew up and went off to school! I love all of those little ones like they are my own and I can assure you, I'll do the same for your little one! I am CPR Certified, First Aid Trained, Sleep Safe Certified. I am also recognized by the state as a certified caregiver. I’m currently a nanny to a family full time and am looking for a new position as they are relocating at the end of May. Hoping to start with a family with an infant towards the end of May or sooner if needed. I require an interview via FaceTime beforehand. Resume and references available upon request. I look forward to hearing from you!
