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:)

My name is Mae and I am currently working towards getting a degree in childhood education; I have always wanted to be a teacher as I have a heart for children. My dream is to open an alternative school, as I believe in teaching in ways that kids enjoy learning. I coach kids' soccer each spring and fall in Hudson, I am a Sunday School teacher in Hillsdale, and I help watch the kids from my parent's church once in a while. I used to babysit more regularly but when I picked up a part-time job I didn't have time with school. I'm flexible so reach out about availability, and just let me know if you'd like to speak to a previous family I've worked for. I hope you'll consider me for your family, and I look forward to getting to know you!
