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.

Hello! I am a recent college graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Environmental Studies from Whitman College. I have extensive childcare experience and a genuine passion for working with and teaching children. For three summers, I worked as a camp counselor at an environmental conservation center in New Hampshire, where I worked with children ages 5–13. I was responsible for planning and leading daily activities as well as overnight camping, hiking, and canoeing trips. These experiences taught me a great deal about leadership, safety, responsibility, and decision-making, while also showing me how to make learning engaging and, of course, fun! I am also CPR and First Aid certified, and I am comfortable taking responsibility for children’s safety and well-being. Throughout my time as a camp counselor, I worked with children from many different backgrounds and with a wide range of abilities. I care deeply about creating an inclusive and supportive environment, and I always made an effort to ensure that every child felt included, comfortable, and engaged—both emotionally and physically. I also have many years of babysitting experience, beginning when I was 13 with my very first job. I have continued babysitting throughout the years and am often the designated babysitter at family gatherings, as I naturally gravitate toward spending time with my beloved younger cousins. As for my own interests, I grew up dancing in many different styles, and throughout adulthood I have focused primarily on modern dance and contact improvisation. I love movement in all forms and would be excited to share that with kids through yoga, dancing, and creative movement! I also love to read, learn, and explore new things, and would be more than happy to help with homework, read together, visit museums, or find other fun and engaging ways to learn and explore. I am a compassionate, communicative, energetic, and responsible person who would love the opportunity to become a nanny and be a positive presence in your child’s life. Please feel free to reach out with any questions—I would love to hear from you!
