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.

Age: 23 Experience: 4+ years in childcare Ages worked with: Newborn – 15 years old Certifications: CPR certified, medically trained through hospital experience References: Available from current and previous families Hello! My name is Alyssa. I have several years of experience caring for children in both professional childcare settings and private nanny roles. I truly enjoy working with children and creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where they can learn and grow. I previously worked as a lead infant teacher at a preschool in Columbus and have also cared for children as a private nanny for multiple families. Through these experiences, I have worked with children ranging from newborns to teenagers (0–15 years old). I also have younger siblings of my own, which has given me additional hands-on experience caring for children from a young age. Currently, I work in a professional role in a hospital while continuing my college education. My healthcare experience has given me strong skills in attentiveness, safety awareness, and emergency preparedness. I am CPR certified and trained to respond in emergency situations involving both adults and children. I am comfortable assisting with infant care, preparing meals, helping with homework, bedtime routines, light household tasks related to the children, and planning fun, age-appropriate activities. Families often describe me as patient, attentive, and dependable. I take my commitments seriously and very rarely miss a scheduled job. Several families I have worked with both currently and recently would be happy to provide reviews or references regarding my care and reliability. I always strive to respect each family’s parenting style while ensuring their children feel safe, supported, and cared for. I would love the opportunity to meet your family!
