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.

Hi- Im Kate! I have been babysitting since I was 12 (I started with new born twins!!) and have sat for different families since. I have helped with twins, triplets and have watched over children from the age of a few days to teens. I was a career nanny for over 10 years working for many profession families (including NFL players!) before having my own children (they are 5, 3, and 2.5month now!) I love working with new families and am look forward to working nights, weekends, overnights and for travel. While I am working on my newborn care specialist training, I am very interested in working with families with newborns for overnights as a night nurse or extra help on weekends or evenings. **while I have no reviews posted here, I have wonderful references I’m happy to share. I have not used sittercity for a very long time- I was mostly hired by word of mouth when I was consistently babysitting.**

I love children!! I've worked at church for the past 3 years with pre-k, newborns, and toddlers (which I feel are the hardest age). I also have done babysitting for a few families in my neighborhood in the past with older children as well. I also was a nanny for an 11 y/o last summer, so i've had lots of experience. I love animals too and would love to watch any pets! I'm looking for a summer nanny job!! I am extremely responsible. I can cook, clean, run errands, drop off/pick up children from activities, help with laundry, and do fun crafts/activities with the children. I love being outdoors as much as possible in the summer. I have a younger sister myself and have learned first hand how to help my parents take care and be responsible for her in many ways also. Can't wait to hear from you!
