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 have been babysitting for as long as I can remember! I am the first grandchild so I grew up around lots of kids and was always helping where I could. I spent about 7 months nannying for a family with three children, one infant & 2 toddlers, and I loved it! They became like my best friends and I couldn’t get enough of them! I am a hard worker and will always go above and beyond for you and your family!

Hi families! I am here to provide babysitting services to any families who may be in need. I do currently work full time as a nanny, but I have plenty of weekend/evening availability! I have been working with children since I was 16 (will be 24 in January 24’) and absolutely love what I do! Originally, I worked at a KinderCare center in the infant room but shortly after COVID started I moved into private childcare. The ability to build a bond with both parents and the children has really been amazing, as well as getting to cater to individual needs and interests. I love playing board games, doing arts and crafts, cooking/baking and exploring the outdoors! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out! Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon!
