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.

I’m what everyone would consider an all around sweetheart. I’ve been a helper since the day one. I’m the oldest of my siblings so I’ve always had to be a teacher,leader and a friend. I spent 10years in the medical field in which I worked in a lab and worked on the kids mental health floor. I currently work with kids a behavior trainer. The most rewarding thing about my job is seeing how the kids I work with look forward to seeing me. My long term goal is to own my own Autistic Learning Center.
