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.

Greetings! My name is Amanda. I am a certified early childhood teacher with more than 18 years in the classroom. Currently, I am a Registered Behavior Technician and work primarily with preschool children who have autism. I am a mother of a young teenage daughter and a son who has a diagnosis of ADHD combined and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. I truly have a lot of patience in the classroom and in my own home. I have a true passion for helping children learn and grow. I enjoy engaging in their play and engaging their minds to continue their development. While also taking care of necessary life tasks, I can also help tutor, if they need extra help in academic areas. My background as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) has allowed me to gain a plethora of skills in behavior management strategies and positive reinforcement techniques. As an RBT, I apply ABA strategies daily. If you are looking for someone who is fun, dedicated, timely and has strong communication skills, I would love to meet you. I am looking for summer work. My schedule varies in June. In June I am looking for afternoon availability from 12:30 - 4:00 (or later if needed), Monday - Thursday. I am available every Friday in June from 7:00-4:00 (or later if needed). In July, I am available full time Monday through Friday from 7:00-4:00 (or later if needed). I am also available with these same hours the first week of August. Thank you for your time. I would love to meet you and your family soon.

Hello there! My name is Ashleigh and I love everything about children! Hello there! My name is Ashleigh and I love everything about children! At the age of 13, I officially started professionally babysitting when I finished my first CPR course and training by the Red Cross. Since then, I have enjoyed many positions spending time with children such as being an assistant teacher in the toddler room at a preschool, a children's specialist at a crisis nursery, an internship at a children's counseling center, and a professional babysitter and nanny! I am experienced with children ages two months to 12 years, and I'm comfortable with pets as I have my own bundle of fur babies. I am CPR and First Aid trained in both adults and pediatrics. I have a Newborn Care Specialist certification, and I am also currently pursuing a degree in Child and Family Studies. My availability is part and full time. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask! I have references and a professional resume. Thank you!
