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.

Hello! My name is Michele, and I am retired. Thank you in advance for looking at my profile! Children and dogs are my passions. I have an amazing 37-year-old daughter who has an Australian Shepherd that I’ve dog sat for 7 years. Prior to that, I dog sat her Pit Bull/Doberman Pincher for 12 years. In addition, I have an intelligent and athletic 29-year-old son. My children represent to me all that is good in the world and are my two true loves. They have taught me a lot about myself and life. I am a better person because of them and admire them so. If you were to ask my friends and family what characteristics I possess, I think that they would tell you traits like: friendly, outgoing, sociable, genuine, sincere, honest, reliable, responsible, trustworthy, caring, kind, humble, generous, compassionate, and empathetic. I also try to make a positive difference in someone's life whenever possible. Some of the activities I love doing with children are reading to/with them, playing pretend, playing with their toys inside and/or outside, doing puzzles, going for walks, coloring/painting, writing/telling stories together, etc. Thank you for your time and interest. Hope to hear from you soon. Take special care! Best wishes, Michele

I am currently a second-year doctoral student in the school psychology and counseling program at the University at Buffalo. I specialize in working with children and adolescents. Before starting graduate school, I lived in Boston, Massachusetts, where I worked with children and teenagers to help them develop emotion regulation and coping skills using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)-informed approaches. In addition to my professional experience, I have years of informal babysitting experience caring for younger cousins and neighborhood children. My graduate training has given me a strong background in child development, behavior, and social-emotional support, and I pride myself on being patient, responsible, organized, and able to create a calm and positive environment for kids of different ages. I am back in Rochester for the summer and I am excited to continue working with children and supporting families.

love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and helping them grow in a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. Seeing them learn, explore, and express themselves brings me joy and makes the work very rewarding. I have hands-on experience caring for my nieces and nephews, assisting with daily routines, preparing meals and snacks, helping with naps and bedtime, and planning engaging age-appropriate activities that encourage learning and creativity. I am patient, responsible, and reliable, with strong communication and organizational skills. I am comfortable multitasking and adapting to each child’s unique needs and personality. I take pride in creating a positive, supportive atmosphere where children feel happy, safe, and confident while allowing parents to feel comfortable and confident in my care.
