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.

Hi! My name is Achilles and I’m a Preschool teacher in the south Jersey area. Are you looking for someone honest, hard working, easy to work with, and energetic? Look no further! I’m the eldest of 5 kids (wow!) and an experienced Older Sister. I’ve got experience from newborn, to elementary age, in daycares, preschools, private homes and more. Ever canceled a date because you couldn’t find anyone to watch the kids? Have you ever been late to work, or had to call out because of a sick child? Well, I’m here to help with that. I’m experienced with special needs children, I’m okay with pets (I would sure hope so, I have 3 of my own after all!) and I’m also eager to help with light housework, and meal prep! Life can be exhausting, even moreso when you’ve got little ones to look after, and there’s no shame in reaching out for an extra helping hand. And that’s me!
