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.

Hi! I’m Aurora, and I’ve been working in childcare for the past three years. I had a wonderful time at a nature-based preschool, which was a highlight of my career before the school closed. I truly enjoy building connections with kids and helping them develop independence and confidence in their abilities. I also have a clean driving record and am certified in CPR and first aid. It’s incredibly important to me that kids feel safe and supported, and I’m so glad to be a part of that! I love being outdoors and active. Hiking, kayaking, and snowboarding are some of my favorite things to do. I also enjoy music and reading.
