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 love being a sitter because I enjoy caring for children and being someone they can feel safe and comfortable with. I find it really rewarding to help kids learn, play, and grow while also giving parents peace of mind knowing their children are well. I have experience babysitting children of different ages, including caring for younger kids and helping with daily routines like meals, playtime, homework, and bedtime. I’ve also helped families by being dependable, patient, and attentive to each child’s individual well being. I am responsible, patient, and good at communicating with both children and parents. I’m able to handle multiple tasks, stay calm in stressful situations, and follow instructions carefully. I’m attentive to safety, respectful of household rules, and always focused on creating a positive and supportive environment for kids
