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.

Welcome Parents! I am back in the Phoenix valley (Tempe to be exact), & am looking to babysit/nanny. I am parent & pet-friendly, engaging with children, I value common sense, being mindful & tidy of your household, keeping my charges safe & entertained in meaningful activies. Please be in touch to discuss your household needs and wants! Kindly, Susan To Whom It May Concern, I am writing this letter to recommend Susan Hicks as a childcare provider. I have had the privilege of working with Susan off and on since early 2013. She took care of my, now three year old son, several days a week. She was responsible for making meals, taking him on adventures to the park or on trails, and putting him down for naps. She also took care of my dog at no extra charge, which included taking him on some of their outings. She is trustworthy, responsible, and outgoing. She is also very active, which helped focus my son’s excessive energy. Susan was always extremely accommodating for my short notice needs and always willing to stay later or come earlier if I asked her to. She has always respected and followed my meal planning, television viewing limits, and other requests while she watched him. I felt at ease while my son was in her care. Knowing that she would care for him as if he were her own. My son adores her and speaks of her all the time, even after we moved away. I would highly recommend Susan to anyone looking for a reliable, fun, and creative babysitter. If you have any further questions regarding Susan, please feel free to contact me anytime.
