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 Valentina. Born and raised in Kingston Jamaica. From a tender age, I have always cared for the elderly, children and animals. I grew up on a farm with my grandmother, a strong woman who raised me to be the young lady I am today. She ended up becoming very sick to the point where we couldn't care for her anymore, but that didn't stop us at all. We hired a part time Nurse and I came home from school in the evenings to look after my grandmother in our own home. After years of struggling with being an amputee due to diabetes and morbid obesity her heart finally stopped and she died in her sleep. After her death, I moved to America to pursue nursing. I started out with a live in job with a family in long Island. I took care of a retired policeman who became immobile due to his morbid obesity and his need for a pacemaker. I also took care of special needs children and I also worked in hospice care. All of these jobs prepared me for the nursing field. I realize that nursing isn't easy, this isn't the movies, it's certainly not Grey's Anatomy. And with these experiences, I build friendships here in America. And I believe that this journey is only the beginning.
