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 am a stay at home mom who only has grown kids at home now that only ask for food every once in a. While. My husband is a Senior Director of Sales for a petroleum company and has an office here but travels. All the time. My biggest baby is my 7 month old baby Great Dane. We have a 2 year old bulldog and tiny tiny 10 pound mix. I watch my three year old baby cousin during the school year but soon it will be her turn for preschool. I’ve watched her since she was 7 weeks old. My house is set up with toy room and bedrooms so ideally I would want to watch out of my home. Anyone is more than welcome to come see. Thank you for ready my Bio.

Hi! I’m a responsible and caring 19-year-old high school graduate with a strong passion for childcare and development. I’ve completed a job shadow in an elementary school classroom, which gave me hands-on experience supporting young learners and understanding how to create a positive, engaging environment. I’ve also spent lots of time caring for my 5-year-old nephew, so I’m comfortable with daily routines, playtime, helping with meals, and keeping kids entertained in fun and creative ways. Safety is very important to me, and I am CPR certified. I’m patient, dependable, and love helping kids learn, grow, and have fun. I look forward to meeting you and your family!
