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.

Last-minute, school and tutoring, date nights—find the right babysitters for you.

Hello, my name is Natalia, and I can help you with your needs. I worked as a teacher for 13 years in Brazil. I have experience providing your family an environment of encouragement and learning, surrounded by affection and understanding with children. I have experience as a nanny here in the USA. I have been working with a family for two years, and I help them with the activities of schoolgirls and their routines at home. From June 2022 until Sep. 2022, I temporarily worked with a family with two babies and a toddler, managing diaper changes, bottle feeding, naps, and playtime. From September 2022 to the present, I have worked part-time in the Cherry Hill area. I have three children, one of whom has special needs. My duties include picking up the children at the bus stop, bringing them home, providing snacks, dinner, and homework, getting them ready for extra activities, and, when necessary, taking them to the location of the activity. Currently, I am still employed and have a great relationship with my family; however, as one of the children I care for is in a wheelchair and cannot walk, this work has become a little difficult for me. I am available to clarify any doubts and discuss the details. Thanks for the opportunity.

I love being a babysitter because caring for children has always been my passion. As a certified teacher with over 25 years of experience, I bring patience, creativity, and a deep understanding of child development to every family I work with. I truly enjoy helping children grow, and feel safe, while having fun. In addition to my teaching background, I am CPR trained and committed to providing a safe, nurturing environment. Babysitting allows me to continue doing what I love most-supporting children and giving parents a peace of mind. I have references upon request.
