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 Jillian and I am looking for a full time nanny position. I, myself, have a 8 month old boy who would need to come with, as I am a single mom. I love kids and I love watching them grow and helping them learn. I am currently the lead preschool teacher at a daycare but am looking for more stability and a set schedule. I have 5-6 years of paid experience and I often babysit for my sisters. My goal is to go to school to get my degree in social work or early intervention. I believe kids need consistency and stability in order to thrive. I have enough education to be qualified as a teacher in a daycare and am constantly doing research to learn more about babies and how their brains develop.
