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.

Tassany is a great and kind babysitter. She took care of our one year old baby daughter on numerous occasions including evenings and weekends. She is polite, prompt, and follows instructions well. Our daughter had lots of fun playing with Tassany. We gladly recommend her to other families.

Experienced Nanny & Early Childhood Educator | South Lake Tahoe Hello! I’m a highly experienced nanny and early childhood educator with over 30 years of hands-on experience working with children from infancy through elementary school age. We are relocating to the South Lake Tahoe area in June and I am seeking a full-time, live-out nanny position with a family who values warmth, structure, creativity, and dependable care. 🌿 About My Experience My background spans both private in-home childcare and early childhood education settings, as well as teaching in a creative arts elementary school. I have supported families long-term in nurturing their children’s development emotionally, socially, and cognitively through age-appropriate play, consistency, and strong communication. In addition to my nanny experience, I am the founder of my own creative children’s program, Wee Little Arts, which I have built, operated and franchised for many years. Through this program, I designed and led art-based learning experiences for young children, focusing on creativity, sensory exploration, fine motor development, and confidence-building through self-expression. 🎨 Wee Little Arts Program As the creator of Wee Little Arts, I developed a hands-on, process oriented curriculum that introduced children to artistic exploration in a safe, engaging, and joyful environment. I worked with groups and individual children to encourage imagination while supporting developmental milestones through art, movement, and sensory activities. This experience strengthened my ability to design structured yet flexible learning environments tailored to each child’s needs. 💛 My Approach I believe children thrive in environments where they feel safe, seen, and encouraged. My caregiving style is calm, nurturing, and highly attentive. I balance structure with creativity, helping children build confidence, independence, and a love of learning. I am also comfortable supporting daily routines such as meal prep, transportation to activities, and light housekeeping related to the children. 🌟 What I Offer 30+ years of professional childcare experience Infant, toddler, and school-age expertise Founder of Wee Little Arts Strong background in early childhood development and art-based learning Reliable, warm, and highly adaptable care I am excited to connect with a family in the South Lake Tahoe area and bring my experience, creativity, and dedication to a long-term nanny role starting this summer.
