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’m a young adult wanting to go to school to get my LPN. I have worked as a caregiver for the past 3 years and am excited to further my career in healthcare. I love taking care of people in any age range. I love kids and could never get tired of being around their imagination. I’d love to be able to start babysitting again. I have very open availability and am willing to work around schedules. I have years of experience in babysitting, I have younger siblings and family friends I have babysat since age 10. I am CPR certified, I’m skilled in meal prep, sleep strategies, and diaper change's. I enjoy the time I get to spend with kids I love listening to their imagination and seeing through their innocent eyes. I am very patient and calm in many situations. I am very communicative I will never leave anyone unknowing especially when I am caring for someone they love. Contact me whenever for references or to set up a time to get to know me more!

I'd describe my personality as goofy, kind, outgoing. I like working with kids because there is nothing satisfying more than seeing a child grow and develop and knowing you played a part in it. I have experience babysitting for children as young as 4 months old, and experience with family as new borns. In my spare time, I like to coach youth volleyball and read. My skills include patience, creativity, and compassion. I have a bachelors degree is psychology and am completing my masters degree in clinical mental health counseling. I also have experience with counseling children!
