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.

Heyy My name is JohnNyah Nelson. Im a respectful young lady and I do what I think is best as long as I get consent with the parents….I’ve got experience with almost all ages of children, from newborns to 12 years olds… I can help with some subjects of homework but I ain’t the best. Growing up I always watched my younger cousins and siblings and my older siblings children. Children are and can be very joyful and very divergent.Hopefully this can be a very nice and settling job I can have so I can not only help myself but parents who need a little hand..Feel free to contact me….

Hello! My name is Aspen, and I am a dedicated college student and TA with a passion for working with children. I have a diverse background in childcare, including experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), an EMT, a nanny, and a daycare provider for children aged 0-8 in Connecticut. Additionally, I served as a substitute teacher at a central school in New York and currently work with BOCES. Currently, I work at Indian River Monday through Friday from 7AM to 2:45PM. Outside of these hours, I am eager to offer babysitting and nanny services. My extensive experience has equipped me with the skills to manage multiple children simultaneously in both home and daycare settings. I find great joy in engaging with young children and mentoring older ones, fostering their growth and development. I am also First Aid and CPR certified and hold a NYS EMT-B certification. I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for children, and I look forward to the opportunity to support your family's needs. In my approach to childcare, I prioritize a "humanizing" philosophy that emphasizes understanding and respecting each child's individuality. I love engaging with children, discussing their emotions, and offering choices to empower them. By considering their needs and wants, I aim to help them thrive in a supportive and empathetic environment.
