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.

I love working with kids, and I have a lot of experience doing just that. As a college student, my job during the school is year is to be a literacy tutor for elementary students. I frequently go to elementary schools and help kid improve their literacy and comprehension skills, and I also work at a family learning institute where I frequently help kids with their homework. Additionally, I often volunteer at the local library tutor center to help students with their homework or just to talk with them while they wait for parents to pick them up. Working with kids has taught me that patience and understanding are very necessary skills to have. I believe that I have these skills, and I can be firm when necessary with children but also know the importance of being caring and gentle with kids. I truly love working kids and find that it is such a rewarding experience. It is so exciting to see kids learning or just having fun. I pride myself on being a very responsible and organized individual, and I would bring these skills when working with your child.

Hi! I’m currently 18 years old looking for a full time nannying role. I grew up with 5 younger siblings so I know how to take care off all age groups. Though I am not CPR/First Aid Certified, I was in a public safety class for 2 years so I know how to do both. I’m looking forward to growing with your family!

I am a teacher with 25 years experience. I have worked with students in grades kindergarten through 8 in the classroom, and I worked with high school students for over 15 years in my district’s musical theatre program. I also have two children of my own, so I do have experience with my own kiddos as infants and toddlers. I am a very accommodating and open-minded person, and I strongly believe that families determine their own parenting styles and expectations. I come with plenty of experience and suggestions, but will ultimately look to you for preferences. I love children and have exceptional patience-children need clear limits and expectations WITH room for being children. I am looking for a well-paid, full time position that may include tutoring or teaching in a homeschool setting. My expertise is in the areas of reading, writing, and math, but I can teach any subject. Please contact me if this sounds like what you are looking for!
