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.

Hi! My name is Rosalind, but most people call me Rosie. I adore working with children and I have a very fun, outgoing personality! I am first aid/CPR certified and also lifeguard certified so I can watch your children in a pool if you have one. I have my own car and drivers license so I can be there whenever I'm needed. As for experience, I have babysat odd jobs since I was 16, worked as a summer camp counselor at an overnight camp, been a teacher at two daycares, and nannied for a lovely family Monday - Wednesday. They had one 7-month-old, a 2-year-old, and a 9-year-old so I have plenty of experience with any age! I’m also quite an insomniac so I wouldn’t mind the overnight jobs either. I'd love to work for you and if you give me a chance, I'll prove why I'd be the best fit for the job!

I am currently employed at East Olive Elementary, certified as an Early Childhood Educator for ages newborn-3! (I also have experience within the school with young preschool ages). From my sophomore year - junior year of high school, I babysat twin infant girls too! I attend LCC online so I have a pretty flexible schedule + reliable transportation. In the spring and summer I love spending as much time as possible outside, but when the weather is crappy I love a day inside! I love being very present with children, if that means I’m simply eating a meal with them, to being active in playing with them!
