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 babysitting because I think it is great training for when I have kids some day and because not only do the kids learn more, but so do I! I think children’s learning skills and abilities are super important. I am experienced with babysitting ages 4 months-6years old but am open to older. I also am involved in working with kids at my church, and I have experience working professionally at a daycare with infants for the last 7 months. I’m in school full time throughout the week. So a family who would need evening care if you want a date night or need to run errands, or weekends would be perfect for me! I have skills in cooking for the kiddos, bottle making, nap/bedtime, playtime. I like to prioritize time away from screens unless we’re all watching something together because I think hands on learning is so important! I am also CPR and first aid certified. If you have any more questions feel free to ask!
