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 Bridget. I’m a mom of three and caring for children has always been one of the most important parts of my life. Being a parent has taught me patience, responsibility, and how important it is for children to feel safe, supported, and understood. I know how much trust it takes for parents to leave their children with someone, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I have extensive hands-on caregiving experience, including helping care for my stepson who has autism and epilepsy. Through that experience, I’ve learned how to provide close supervision, maintain structured routines, and support children with different needs, personalities, and communication styles. I’m comfortable helping with daily routines like meals, playtime, bedtime, homework, and keeping kids engaged in positive activities. In addition to childcare, I’m also happy to help families with light housekeeping, organizing, running errands, meal prep, and keeping the home running smoothly. I understand how busy life can be for families, and I enjoy helping in ways that make daily life a little easier. I would describe myself as patient, dependable, attentive, and easy to communicate with. I enjoy spending time with kids, whether that’s playing games, doing crafts, being outside, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and supported while their parents are away. My goal as a sitter is always to create a safe, calm, and positive environment where children can have fun and parents can feel confident that their kids are in good hands. I truly enjoy helping families and building trusting relationships with both parents and children.
