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.

Denise has been a Part-Time Nanny for our family for over 1 year. She is wonderful with our now 2-year-old son. She is always keeping him active and he has learned so much from her. She has had a lot of experience over the years with children and has a lot of patience. It's very sweet to see our son's eyes light up when he sees her. She also does a great job helping out with chores around the house, such as laundry, vacuuming, sweeping, and cleaning the kitchen which we really appreciate.

Hi, my name's Krista, and I've been a childcare provider for many years. I have experience working with children of all ages. I especially love being a nanny because it gives me the opportunity to be a team player with the parents I work for as well as give children individualized attention. I enjoy arts and crafts, coloring, playing board games, playing outdoor games such as hopscotch, reading to children, and taking them on outings to the playground or library. I'm certified in Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED through The American Red Cross, and I have a clean driving record. Working with children is challenging and rewarding, and that's why I chose to be a childcare provider. Thank you.

I became a caregiver because I really love to make a difference in children's lives. I used to volunteer at an elementary school in my area at Kidstop and I also worked in the classroom too.

I’m 28, and for nearly 10 years have worked at in-home and center based daycares and have nannied for a number of families, both full and part time! I love being active in the community with children. Our favorite places include zoos, community centers, playgrounds, beaches, and libraries to name a few. Inside the home, we frequently do crafts, baking, coloring, reading, and independent play. Outside of work, I enjoy weightlifting, long walks, cooking and baking healthy meals/desserts, and spending quality time with my husband, friends, and family. I have great references upon request 😊
