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.

Hi! I'm Chelsea. I am 31, and I have over 10 years of experience working with children from newborn to elementary age.I studied Childcare and Early Childhood Development, then was a 1-to-1 aide in an autism program for 4 years prior to becoming a Direct Support Professional for a non-profit. In 2021 I graduated as a Medical Assistant. I am seeking a full-time Nanny position while I continue my education, but would be open to occasional babysitting as well. I like to use developmentally appropriate play, create motor skill and sensory activities, art projects, read books, and music. I encourage the use of imagination through child-led play. I know communication signs to aid with language development (eg. eat, more, all done, milk, mom, dad). I love pets and am able to assist with meals, light housekeeping, diapers/toileting, adhering to feeding/sleeping schedules to avoid disruption in routine, bathing, naps/bedtime, and clear communication with the family. I am located in Atlantic County. I have my own vehicle and a valid drivers license. I am CPR and First Aid Certified. Fully Vaccinated and up to date on boosters. Hope to hear from you!
