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 working with children! I have recently nannied a family but they just went to school. I have been a preschool teacher at a small private school for 1 year. I worked at a daycare starting as an assistant teacher in the infant/toddler side and eventually got my CDA and became lead teacher, eventually moved to the preschool side and was lead teacher there for a little bit as well. I have also babysat family friends kids off and on as they need it and I am free. I have had my CPR certification but it has expired since last time I took it, I am of course willing to take it again for the comfort of the parents if needed:)

I have just quit my job at a Montessouri preschool and now I am looking for something with fewer kids. I have 3 grown children and my first grandchild was born this summer so I also have experience there.

First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to considering my ability to help you. I was a full time nanny for 4 boys ranging from newborn-10. I've been on amd off with them the past 5 years. I would say that I have a lot to offer considering I have a crazy amount of care, patience, and love for all children. I love being active and love to keep the kids entertained without electronics. I have a lot to offer to any family that is willing to take a chance. Thank you!

Hi! My name is Miranda, and I have a genuine love for children—especially babies and toddlers. I’m a kind, patient, and nurturing caregiver who takes great pride in meeting each child’s individual needs and helping them feel safe, loved, and understood. I have professional experience as an infant and toddler teacher at a daycare in Adrian prior to its closure. Before that, I nannied for several families while living on base in California during my husband’s military service. After moving back home, I continued nannying before transitioning into daycare teaching and eventually becoming a stay-at-home mom. Our days are often spent outdoors—playing in the dirt and sand, swimming in the pool, exploring nature, and enjoying fresh air. I also love doing crafts, cooking and baking, and creating hands-on learning experiences. I’m currently taking online courses in ASL, as I value communication and inclusivity. I truly enjoy watching little ones grow and learn, and I like to establish gentle routines when possible so children feel secure and know what to expect around meals and naps. That said, I completely understand that flexibility is sometimes needed, and I’m comfortable adapting when schedules don’t go as planned. I’m very familiar with food allergies (as I have several myself) and cloth diapering, which I used with my own child. I’m flexible with scheduling, including last-minute needs. I’m CPR, AED, and First Aid certified, a non-smoker, have a clean background check, and can provide references. I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your little one in a safe, loving, and peaceful environment.
