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 fun, responsible nanny with over 20 years experience in daycare, preschool, and elementary school classrooms with letters of recommendation for your review and excellent references. My goal is to make learning fun while addressing the best way to teach each child in accordance to their learning style. I also teach English as a second language. I like to create variation in activities such as reading, painting, drawing, storytelling, games, dance instruction, as well as outdoor activities. I like to make activities such as clean up time fun times and incorporate social, problem solving, and academic "teachable moments" throughout the day. I teach positive communication, coping strategies, problem solving skills and socialization and role-model these traits with respect, consideration, patience and compassion.

I love being a sitter because caring for children truly brings me joy and allows me to make a positive difference in their daily lives. I have over a year of professional experience working with young children, especially ages 2.5 to 4 years old, and I currently teach a class of 16 children, which has helped me build strong patience, creativity, and classroom management skills. I also have years of babysitting experience from helping care for my younger siblings growing up. I hold a Child Development Certificate and am CPR certified, so I’m trained to support children’s safety, learning, and emotional needs. I pride myself on being dependable, nurturing, and creating a fun, safe environment where children feel comfortable and supported.
