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.

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy caring for others and making sure they feel safe, supported, and happy. I grew up with both an older and a younger sibling, and I’ve spent many years helping care for over 14 younger cousins that I’ve grown up watching. Being around kids comes naturally to me, and I truly enjoy building meaningful connections, keeping them engaged, and providing dependable, attentive care. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, with strong communication skills and a calm, confident approach in new situations. I’m good at reading behavior cues, maintaining routines, and creating a positive and safe environment. I also hope to adopt and have children of my own in the future, which makes caregiving something I’m genuinely passionate about. I take pride in being reliable and organized, and I always keep parents informed with regular updates so they feel confident and at ease.
