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 passion has always been working with children. I have over 15 years experience both professionally and personally. I have my associates degree in Early Childhood Studies, my teaching assistant certificate, and college credits for Human Services. I am a mother to two children who attend school full time. I currently work for a school, therefore, my flexibility is of the school district calendar. During care I enjoy keeping parents informed of how their little one’s day is going by sending text and pictures through out the day. I tell parents text is not an emergency but a phone call is. When possible we love to be outside depending on the weather. There for I ask parents to feel comfortable with transportation whether it be a walk or quick car ride to the school park. But if I am only providing as needed care I try not to make any transportation plans. As we have a playground set in our backyard.
