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.

Hello! My name is Liz Suggitt. I am 27 years old and have had many experiences working with children from different age groups. I have provided childcare for four different families in the past and have enjoyed getting to know each of those families during the time that they needed care. I love working with children and have had quite a bit of experience working with multiple young children at the same time. I also have volunteered at my church throughout the years in different children's programs and really enjoy working with children from all different backgrounds. I enjoy caring for children of all ages, playing games both inside and outside, doing crafts, reading, swimming and preparing meals and snacks. One of my past jobs that I had was working as a delivery driver, and through that I have obtained plenty of driving experience while keeping a clean driving record so I feel very comfortable handling pick-ups/drop-offs. I am available for the days that you need me and I also have a flexible schedule if you need childcare on any other days. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration and I'm looking forward to hearing back from you! Liz Suggitt

I am an eldest daughter that grew up with 7 siblings. 3 of which were special needs, so i am definitely able to adjust to my surroundings and learn different routes through situations. I am currently a caregiver for older woman but would like to pursue pediatric nursing in the near future. I have a passion for kids and helping them learn the way through life (the fun way). For fun I do nails and love art. I'm always down for an adventure or a chill day at home :)

Caring for children and supporting families through reliable, high-quality care is my main goal. With two years of experience, I have developed a patient, calm, and creative approach to supporting children aged one to 12. I also worked at Jumpstart childcare for 5 months, and have worked at kindercare for a little over 8 months now. I also have tons of babysitting experience! My background includes Early Child Development coursework, which informs how I engage with your little ones. I hold CPR Training and First Aid Training certifications to ensure a safe environment. I can enjoy playing outside, educational games, and puzzles/other things to keep children active and curious. I am very comfortable enforcing your household rules and am happy to assist with light housekeeping or crafts. I prioritize clear communication, providing regular updates via text or phone calls to keep you informed. I truly look forward to becoming a positive, supportive presence in your family's daily life.
