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 Emma, I’m an experienced nanny and I love working with children. I recently relocated to the Havelock area and am looking to connect with a family that I can become a reliable part of! In my previous nanny position, I worked full-time (6am-4pm) Mon-Fri. I cared for two children, including an infant and 4 year old with special needs. I’m comfortable with everything that comes with a busy day, bottles, meals, naps, playtime, homework, transportation, and keeping routines consistent. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and love building a genuine bond with the children I care for. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust and feel completely comfortable leaving their children with. I’m currently looking for a consistent nannying position, but I’m also open to babysitting and pet sitting opportunities.
