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 Tatum. I have roughly 2.5 years of paid experience with infant care. I am passionate about creating a calm, caring environment for every child under my care. In my experience I have done many things along with child care including housework/chores, meal prep, and planning fun activities to do with the kids! I love helping little ones explore new experiences in safe and fun ways to help grow their confidence and develop important life skills. I am planning on receiving my first aid and CPR certifications in the next few months, though I do not currently have them. Outside of childcare, I enjoy reading, drawing/coloring, and going for walks with family and our pets! I am available for flexible scheduling, but would prefer the standard Monday - Friday schedule. I look forward to connecting with a wonderful family and making a positive impact in your child’s life!

Hi, my name is Marenn Larsen. I am currently 20 years old and I am attending college at MSU Mankato I am originally from Williston North Dakota. I have babysat for six years for a family back home over the summers. I love my babysitting job and love getting to hang out with kids. I love getting to spend time with kids because they bring so much energy to my day as well as teaching me some good life skills. The family I babysat for had three kids. I watched the two oldest for three years and the youngest for six years now. When I’m babysitting, I really like to make sure I engage with the kids and try and be as creative and in the moment with them while I’m there. I think it’s very important for kids to play hands-on and just use their imagination. I also have worked at Sunday school at my church before and got to watch some younger babies. I absolutely love babies. I would love to answer more of your questions if you have any, and I would love to meet if you would be more comfortable with that first:)
