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.

Last-minute, school and tutoring, date nights—find the right babysitters for you.

Nurturing children and watching them blossom has always been a true passion of mine. For the past eight years, I've had the joy of caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. My college degree has provided me with a strong foundation. I am also certified in CPR and First Aid. I am comfortable caring for up to four children at a time. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. I am patient, friendly, and very caring. I'm also comfortable enforcing household rules. I always communicate with parents using their preferred method, whether it's a quick chat at pickup or regular updates via text. I have a car and I'm comfortable with pets. I'm eager to bring my experience and positive energy to your family!
