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.

Linda was awesome! She watched my 2 boys (22 months and 5 y/o) for the majority of the day and evening while my husband and I attended a wedding in downtown Buffalo. She was great with communication, we were able to FaceTime ahead of the wedding so my older son could meet her and be comfortable and the day of she sent me message to keep my updated on how they were doing. I would highly recommend Linda! If we are even in Buffalo in the future and need a babysitter we would definitely use her again!

Hi! I’m Natalie! I have been babysitting for as long as I can remember, I’d say probably about 8-9 years. I’ve always been the “go to” babysitter in my family :). I also work at a daycare as a teachers assistant, I’ve been working there for just a little over a year now. I have experience with any age and I love what I do! I am also CPR and first aid trained! On top of making sure I guarantee a safe environment for the kiddos I also love doing arts and crafts for mom & dad, going outside for some fresh air, reading books, playing the kid’s favorite games. I also make sure to communicate and provide pictures while mom and dad are out so you know what’s going on 😊.
