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.

Hi, my name is Tatiana, and I’m 19 years old. I’ve recently worked as a substitute teacher, which gave me valuable experience managing classrooms and supporting children’s learning and development. In addition to that role, I’ve spent a lot of time watching and caring for kids of various ages, both in formal and informal settings. Outside of that, I’ve also cared for children through babysitting and helping out families in more personal, one-on-one settings. These experiences have helped me build patience, strong communication skills, and a natural ability to connect with kids of various ages. I truly enjoy spending time with children, helping them learn, play, and feel safe. I’m responsible, patient, and enthusiastic about creating a positive and nurturing environment for the kids I care for.

Hi! My name is Cortney and I have been in childcare for about 10 years. My most recent nanny position will be coming to an end soon, as they are moving away. I have been with them for about 3 months, and with my previous family for 5 years! Before nannying, I worked in various centers, specifically focusing on infant and toddler care. I have some credits in early childhood education, and I am willing to be re-certified in infant CPR/first aid/SIDS. I am also willing to go through background checks, and have no issues with cameras in reasonable locations. As a childcare provider, I am attentive to infants needs, and am able to keep them on a reasonable schedule. Typically, I will keep a daily baby diary with feedings, diapering, sleep, and activities noted. I like to keep open communication with the parents, as I believe the nanny positions are always smoother when the three of is are on the same page. I enjoy doing sensory activities, and am always finding age appropriate activities that encourage both development and fun. I have my own transportation, and a clean driving record. I enjoy being outside and taking walks, and I don't believe in utilizing screens very much. I prefer to use music and engage in play with the child(ren). If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I look forward to hearing from you! -Cortney R.

I have worked in child care for 13 years so this is something that I have plenty of experience in. I have primarily worked with 2 year olds, but have also worked with all other age groups as well. My main focus with the children I work with is to show them the same love and affection that their parents will give as if they where home and it also makes the transition a lot easier for everyone. By me doing such a great job at work I have had outside baby sitting position that have lasted for years. Child care is something that just comes natural to me I enjoy the e children I work with and they enjoy me because they hate to see me leave and they all call me mother. I treat the children I care for like I would want someone to treat my child. So if I sound like someone that you would have to take care of your children then please feel free to contact me.
