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.

Thank you for reading my profile. Experience: I am a 22 year old who has many years of experience in informal children and 2 official years in providing service outside of my family. While in college I was the official babysitter for a family of 3 kiddos and 5+ pets when needed. Within the last year I was the primary support for my nephew as his mom works overnight from ages 4 months to 1+. Why I do this: I enjoy love interacting with, teaching, supporting, and comforting children. They are such a vulnerable group in society that requires love, compassion and understanding. I am also a person that is attentive and respectful of the boundaries and values of the family unit so if your looking for great familial support, I’m here!! Credentials: BA in Psychology
