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! I'm an experienced nanny, and I'd love to get to know you and your kiddos! I enjoy spending time with children and love doing crafts, fun activities, getting outside, and making sure they have a fun and positive experience while in my care. I'm also a huge animal lover, so I'm more than happy to help with pets as well! I've been caring for children for many years, starting with babysitting for family friends. I've worked with two different families through the app, nannying for one family for about a year and another family for a year as well. Both experiences have been incredibly meaningful to me, and I've loved getting to build relationships with the children and become someone their families could trust. I'm dependable, caring, patient, and always willing to help wherever I'm needed. I'm happy to provide references from previous families and would have no problem having you contact them with any questions you may have!
