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! My name is Marta, and I have over 20 years of experience as a nanny, caring for children from infancy through their school-age years. I am CPR certified and passionate about creating a safe, loving, and dependable environment where children can learn, grow, and feel comfortable. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with several wonderful families, remaining with each for a year or longer and building relationships based on trust, consistency, and open communication. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident that their children are in caring and capable hands, and I take that responsibility to heart. My experience includes caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, preparing bottles and meals, changing diapers, helping with naps and bedtime routines, school pick-ups and drop-offs, driving children to activities, planning age-appropriate activities, and keeping children engaged through play, crafts, reading, and outdoor time. I also help with light housekeeping, children’s laundry, tidying play areas, and meal preparation to help keep the household running smoothly. Families describe me as patient, dependable, kind, and calm under pressure. I believe in being loving while providing gentle guidance and consistency when needed. My goal is to make parents feel confident that their children are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, comfortable around pets, and flexible in adapting to each family’s routines and parenting style. Caring for children has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life, and I genuinely love building lasting relationships with the families I work with. I look forward to becoming a trusted and supportive part of your family’s daily life.
