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.

Deborah was great with our 3 children. They all loved her and requested we send her messages about what we were doing when she wasn't with us. She brought adventure and activities to our house and was super engaged with our girls. We were sad when our schedules no longer aligned but still keep her in mind when we have one off needs. Highly recommend.

Hi families! I have lots of personal and nanny experience with newborns, infants, and toddlers and I love working with children. I love furry friends as welll. I am super patient and easy going and attentive to all the little things that keep different babies comfortable (gassiness, wet diapers, needing to burp, needing to be held often, needing to bottle certain angles, etc). I am very experienced with the toddler stage and happy to play, read, take walks, and carefully supervise little ones during the learning-to-walk stage. I am mom to 2 kids (14 and 17). I work full time with adults with developmental disabilities but my hours are entirely squeezed into 3 extra long weekend and evening shifts. Thus I am free to nanny part-time on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 8am to 1pm. I live in Jefferson Township with my husband, our two teens, and our Yorkie. Every child is different and I am here to support whatever works best for your little one. Thanks!
