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.

I have over 10 years experience working with children. I am currently a nanny for an 18 month old. was a Nanny for over 2 years in New York and also a Preschool Teacher for 2 years. I have taken Educational Theater courses. I believe Theater helps a child's development and also helps build confidence. I worked in IT from 2017-2021. I missed working with children. It is a joy to watch them grow and develop, something you aren't able to see in the Corporate World. I have a Bachelors in English Language Arts from Cuny Hunter College. I also have several courses that I took towards my Masters in Educational Theater at Cuny City College. I am originally from New York. Please feel free to ask any questions!

Hi, I am a recent undergrad student from Hamilton College. I have always had a natural role as a caregiver being the oldest daughter in my family. From helping care for my siblings as infants to now looking after four kids regularly, I have built years of hands-on experience with children of different ages. I love babysitting because I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids can play, learn, and feel cared for. In addition to my experience, I’m skilled at multitasking, problem-solving, and keeping kids engaged with activities that fit their interests.
