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.

As an experienced teacher, I have developed a passion and personal commitment to helping young children succeed. I feel that my background as an educator would be a perfect fit for this job. In my most recent position I was a nanny for 3 boys and would still be with them, but the family relocated to another state. My teaching method is dedicated to foster a positive learning environment , maximizing all children's individual needs. The accomplishment I'm proud of is working and nurturing children with special needs. I am confident that my experience and background will be a great fit for this position. Thank you

I'm a compassionate caregiver with over 16 years of experience supporting newborns, infants, toddlers, twins, and children with special needs through private-duty care and household management. I bring a calm, reliable presence to the families I work with. I also have deep experience supporting sleep routines, feeding schedules, early learning, and continuity of care. My background includes working with families who value structure, discretion, and thoughtful developmental guidance, as well as those navigating transitions such as newborn care, changing schedules, or additional household support. I take pride in being proactive, organized, and attentive to both children's needs and the overall rhythm of the household. Families often describe me as dependable, intuitive, and easy to communicate with. My goal is always to provide care that feels supportive, seamless, and trustworthy--so families can feel confident their home and loved ones are in good hands.
