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, my name is Jordan Bulger! I am 23 years old. I have been a babysitter since I was 13 years old starting with my cousins. I grew up with the nickname, baby whisperer. At the age of 16 I started working for school-age childcare at the YMCA until the age of 20. During that time I also did the YMCA summer camp two years in a row. For the past three years, I have been a nanny for two families and also have been doing babysitting jobs on the side with other families as well. I have a degree in forensic psychology and counseling. From the degree it gave me the skills of learning how to work with different age groups on an emotional level. Learning how to diffuse situations and to validate the feelings of children. I am extremely organized and I love to clean. I do have a car so if travel is necessary I am more than happy to do that. I’m perfectly comfortable with animals. I have plenty of experience working with different age groups starting at new borns to 12 years of age due to working at the YMCA and also with all the different families that I’ve worked for through the years through babysitting and nannying. I make it a priority to create a safe space for children and also create a healthy relationship with the parents I work for so that they know that their child is in the best care possible.
