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 have a natural talent for working with children and a strong sense of responsibility, which I’ve developed over the years by helping raise my younger brother, who is now nine. Through that experience, I’ve learned patience, empathy, and how to handle a variety of situations with care and understanding. In addition, I have training in lifeguarding, CPR, and general safety, which has given me the skills to stay calm and act quickly in emergencies. I’m a personable, sociable individual who genuinely enjoys connecting with others and creating a positive, safe environment for everyone around me.

I have had the pleasure of hirring Cadence for ocasional babysitting, she is very sweet, honest, understanding, and my daughters love her. She does an excellent job. She's done well with my 3 year old and 20mo together, while also potty training, making lunches and snacks. I will continue to reach out to her when needed. I absolutely recommend her.

I am a Christian Nanny with 6 years of relevant experience to care for children and families. I truly believe children are the single most important beings in the world, and their environment can be a direct reflection of who they are! Before becoming a Nanny, I worked as a Lead Teacher at a Montessori preschool. There, I completed 44+ hours of Professional Development Training and a 6-month course, specifically for children aged 0-3, through their institute to further my education on the Montessori Method. In addition to my professional career, I absolutely enjoy everything outdoors! My family spends time hunting, fishing, hiking, reading, and cooking! While children are a passion of mine, so is health. We strive to live a holistic lifestyle and try our best to eat pro-metabolic, whole foods. I enjoy reading educational books, ranging in topic from child development to overall health! I take pride in dependability and transparent communication, and thrive with organizational freedom. For the past 7 months, I have successfully balanced my professional nanny career while caring for my 10-month-old daughter. This encourages me to multitask efficiently, navigate differing routines, and continue to deliver under pressure. I am incredibly proud of my commitment during this period, and I am seeking a new position where I can apply this same level of dedication.

I have 3 kiddos. I work second shift since my youngest isn’t in school yet. I occasionally clean houses on the side and babysit during the day. I’m looking for a full/ part time sitting job where I can bring my nonverbal son with me. I’ve always been scared to leave him with anyone since he can’t talk and tell me about his day, so that’s why I work second shift. My kids are 10, 7 and 4. I have 2 girls and 1 boy. Thanks for considering me!
