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.

Hey there! My name is Tiffany. I am a mom of 2 amazing girls. My oldest just started school, and I decided to pause my Preschool Teaching to stay at home with my 3 year old daughter. I am looking to help someone during the week while my daughter is at school. I do have my CDA (teaching certificate) for preschool, I am CPR/First Aid trained for infants, toddlers and adults. I have a ton of experience as I LOVE the idea of teaching children to be kind, confident and lift them up. I sing, read, craft and play. Sensory bins and fine motor activities are SOOOO important. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you for trusting me with your precious little one(s).
