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 Zoe and I am 28 years old mom to two wonderfully crazy children. Mt son will be 4 in August and my daughter turned 2 this past March. I graduated from Tompkins Cortland Community College in 2016 with an associates degree in Early Childhood. I have been working with kids for a very long time. I started babysitting at the age of 14, all the way till the age 25. I started to formally work in childcare in 2015. I have always loved being a caregiver. I think the best part of caring for children is watching them grow and learn, and knowing you played a part in it. I love doing arts & crafts and reading books to children. I am willing to prepare food, and do small tasks around the house. If you would like me to do more tasks or more complex tasks the rate will increase.
