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.

Ever since I became a mom Ive realized the joy kids bring. No matter what's going on I can look at my boy and be reminded of the importance of letting go and being free of what the day/night might bring. My personality has sharpen and my strength been tested but overall life without responsibility is empty. I can truly say as a babysitter, I will try interact, play, enjoy and learn while sitting.

I am a Nervous System Specialist (NTS) working with competitive fencing athletes ages 10 and up, helping them improve performance by strengthening the connection between the brain, body, and movement pattern communication under stress. My work focuses on regulating the nervous system so athletes can process stress efficiently, react with precision, and maintain consistency during the high-demand competition. By addressing how the nervous system responds to speed, uncertainty, and fatigue, I support athletes in developing better focus, faster decision- making, and resilient movement patterns that translate directly to competitive success. In addition to my performance with athletes, I have extensive experience as a Case Worker in a residential treatment facility serving children ages 8 to 13. In this role, I provided direct support to youth with emotional and behavioral challenges, collaborated with multidisciplinary teams, and implemented individualized care plans focused on safety, regulation, and long- tern development. My background includes crisis intervention, behavior management, documentation, and building trusting relationships with children in a structured, high stress environment. Across both disciplines, my work is rooted in understand behavior through the lens of the nervous system. Whether supporting young athletes or children in residential care, I bring calm, regulated presence, strong observational skills, and results- driven approach that prioritizes stability, growth, and performance under pressure.
