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.

I have 3–6 years of experience caregiving for small humans, including infants, toddlers, and older children. I previously worked as an assistant teacher at a daycare for one year, a role I truly loved before relocating. I am CPR certified from my most recent position and prioritize safety and attentive care at all times. Building strong, trusting connections with children comes naturally to me, and the kids I cared for absolutely loved me in return. I enjoy helping children understand hard or new concepts with patience and creativity, and I love connecting with them through arts and crafts and meaningful play. I am also an animal lover, especially dogs and cats, and feel comfortable caring for children in homes with pets. In addition to childcare, I am more than willing to cook, clean, and support families in maintaining a safe, nurturing, and organized environment.

Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because working with kids brings so much joy and energy into my day. Every child has their own personality, and I enjoy building a bond with them, encouraging their creativity, and being a positive role model. It’s rewarding to know that I can give parents peace of mind while making sure their children feel safe, cared for, and happy. What experience do you have? I have experience caring for children of different ages through babysitting, family care, and working in structured programs. I also worked as a youth apprentice in a classroom, which gave me the opportunity to support teachers, work with students one-on-one, and help with daily routines. On top of that, I’ve been a playground leader, where I was responsible for organizing activities and ensuring safety for groups of children. What skills and training do you have? I’m responsible, dependable, and great at problem-solving on the spot. I’m also very organized, patient, and able to keep kids engaged with fun activities. I have experience managing routines, assisting with learning, and creating a safe and positive environment. I also value clear communication with both kids and parents.
