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 Jenean and I have been a career Nanny for 38 years. I am fun, trustworthy, and very loving. I have experience with all ages, including infants, twins and babies with colic.. I have done house managing positions too, while older kids have been in school.I have wonderful references, including 11 from many of the families I have worked for in the past, which will leave no doubt in the kind of person and nanny I am, or can be. I also have wonderful long term relationships with the families I have cared for, and usually feel like part of the family. My last two jobs have been in the last 15 years. I have had a few that were 5 year positions too. I have no children of my own, so I feel I was meant to give all my love to the child/ children I care for, and I DO! If you're looking for a caring, loving, fun smiley person to help your child/children with development and growth.. I AM HER!
