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.

Hello! My name is Brittney, and I'm a proud mother of five boys, five cats, and one dog. Managing a busy household has taught me patience, organization, flexibility, and the importance of creating a safe, loving environment for children to grow and thrive. Caring for others has always been something I genuinely enjoy, which is what led me to pursue a career in professional childcare. I have three years of experience working in a licensed childcare center, where I became CPR and First Aid certified and completed numerous courses focused on child development, safety, and overall well-being. During that time, I gained valuable hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, each with their own unique personalities, learning styles, and needs. I have experience supporting children with a wide range of physical, developmental, emotional, and behavioral needs, and I strive to provide patient, compassionate care that helps every child feel safe, understood, and encouraged. One skill I'm especially proud of is potty training - it's become one of my specialties, and I've earned the nickname "the potty-training wizard" from families and coworkers alike! In addition to childcare, I'm happy to help make your household run more smoothly. I am available for light housekeeping, pet care, house sitting, meal preparation, organizing, and helping children with activities at home or taking them on walks and outdoor adventures. While I do not drive, I am committed to being dependable, punctual, and making the most of activities that are accessible by walking or within your home. My goal is to become someone your family can trust and rely on - a caregiver who will treat your children with kindness, respect, and genuine care while giving you peace of mind when you're away. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to the opportunity to meet your family!
