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 love being with children. I have a large family and I love being around kids because they genuinely brighten up the whole world. I remember having a babysitter when I was little and she was the most amazing person to play with and to learn from, I want to be the role model she was to me. I have been babysitting for 4 years, including my siblings and cousins, but also a family with twins, and several other families with two or more children. I work well with animals, I can play games, go for walks, I can clean, cook, grocery shop, and will try my very best help you and your children in whatever way you need. I am First Aid and CPR certified, as well as being an assistant to the Athletic Trainers at my current college.
