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 am a professional caregiver who has been babysitting since I was 9 years old. I am a deeply compassionate and empathetic person who has a passion for helping others, especially children and animals. I pride myself on my patience as well as my ability to make others feel comfortable, even in the most difficult situations. It is of the utmost importance to me that every human being is given the grace and respect that we all deserve regardless of demographic. I also consider myself an advocate for mental health and I have a bachelor's in psychology and plan to get my masters in counseling with a certification in play therapy. If I had to choose a motto for my views on caregiving, it would be: "They are not giving you a hard time, they are having a hard time." I also have experience as an Early Intervention Service Coordinator, helping children aged 0-3 with developmental delays or disabilities get connected with services.

I truly enjoy being a nanny because I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn and grow. I have several years of experience caring for kids of different ages, from toddlers to school-aged children. I am patient, reliable, and creative, always finding ways to keep little ones engaged through games, crafts, and outdoor activities. Families I’ve worked with describe me as caring and trustworthy, and I take pride in helping children feel happy, supported, and understood. My goal is to be not only a sitter, but also a positive and dependable support for your family.
