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! I'm Lily - a patient, fun, and reliable caregiver with a strong background in early childhood education and child development. I've worked with children ages 18 months-13 years and love creating a safe, calm, and engaging environment. My experience includes: assistant teacher for ages 2-12, lead toddler teacher (18 months+), dance teacher for ages 18 months-13 years, RBT at an autism center with kids 2-6, and volunteer character performer for children's nonprofit events. These roles have given me skills in sensory-friendly activities, emotional regulation support, routines, creative play, and helping kids feel comfortable and confident. I'm dependable, communicative, and happy to help with meals, light housekeeping, and daily routines. I truly love working with kids and hope to be a warm, supportive addition to your family!
