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.

My name is Jessica/Jessie and I love children. Rest assured, I am Adult, Child and Infant, Pediatric CPR/AED & First Aid Certified. I have experience with children and adults who have special needs. Experienced with infants, toddlers, and grade school children. I drive a reliable 2021 Subaru Forester, and have a clean driving record. Organized and experienced, I enjoy making the time I’m there enjoyable for everyone. From climbing the tree in the yard together with the older kids, to homework help, meal prep and clean up, it will be done. I’m classically trained, I play the viola and drums. So I love bringing various instruments such as hand drums, small tambourine, and maracas for the children to enjoy. I sometimes bring a mini speaker and encourage dance, exercise and self expression. It’s been amazing to me, how much I’ve observed how music really helps the children use their imaginations! I’ll bring lots of other activities like a craft, coloring books,markers,matching games, a variety of balls are always with me, to share with your children. Additional sports equipment, and soccer nets are also available upon request and are all included in my rate. I’m looking forward to finding more families to build a relationship with. Childcare is something that comes really natural for me, this is one of the reasons I love it so much. Looking forward to speaking with you soon. Several recent references available upon request.

Hi, I’m Samantha! I recently graduated with my bachelors degree in psychology, along with completing multiple courses in early childhood education. I have 2 years of daycare experience as well as one year experience working in the Mental Health field with children. Between the years of 2014 and 2016 I was enrolled in the early childhood education program at the Eastern Long Island Academy of Applied Technology where I worked towards obtaining my Child Development Accreditation. Some of my hobbies include sports, going to the beach, yoga, and art. I also like to spend a lot of my free time fundraising for the Ronald McDonald House with an organization I have been a part of for almost 10 years. Over the years I have helped raise my two wonderful nephews who are now 6 and 13. I have much prior experience babysitting for numerous families around the area, and would be happy to provide references and discuss further. I look forward to connecting! :)

I am an energetic 61 yr old self-employed massage therapist and babysit a 9 month old girl and a 9 yr old boy regularly. I have experience with all ages. I have a son of my own and am the designated family babysitter. Children love me and gravitate towards me as I can meet them at their level. I’m patient, gentle and kind. I don’t like to sit kids in front of a screen. I will not be on my phone when caring for your child. I love engaging them in creative play, reading books to them and my favorite thing is taking them outside to play. I admire the Waldorf philosophy of education and nurturing.
