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 love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy caring for children and helping families feel supported and stress-free. I find it rewarding to build connections with kids, keep them safe, and make sure they feel comfortable and happy while their parents are away. I have experience caring for children of different ages, from infants to school-aged kids. This includes supervising playtime, preparing meals or snacks, helping with homework, bedtime routines, and maintaining a clean and organized environment. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on each child’s individual needs.

Hi! I’m Chloe, a dedicated and experienced nanny with over 12 years of childcare experience. I hold a CNA license and CPR certification, and have cared for children of all ages—from newborns to school-age kids. I’ve worked with families managing multiple children, and I pride myself on creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can thrive. As a new mom to a four-month-old baby, I’m looking for a nanny position where I can bring her along with me. I understand the importance of flexibility and am fully prepared to care for your child while balancing my own baby’s needs. I’m happy to assist with morning routines, school drop-offs and pick-ups, meal preparation, nap time, bedtime routines, homework help, and engaging activities to support your child’s development. Additionally, I can help with light housekeeping tasks such as tidying up play areas, laundry, and meal cleanup to keep your home running smoothly. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive, and I strive to provide peace of mind for parents while nurturing and supporting their children. I look forward to the opportunity to meet your family and help create a positive and loving atmosphere in your home.
