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 worked as a professional nanny from the age of 17-22. I then started my own family & had a few jobs in between. Which included working in customer service, adult foster homes and health insurance. My kids are now 10 & 11, in school full time and I am looking into getting back to what I love.

Hello! My name is Nichole, I’m 32 and am in a Master's program at UO. I have experience with all ages: as a live-in helper for a new mom of twins, running the toddler and preschool rooms at an in-home daycare, volunteering at a summer camp for ages 3-15, and more! I am looking to pick up a few more weekend or evening babysitting gigs, to supplement what I already do. I love to read and play outside, and am a huge fan of board games as well! As a babysitter, I know I won’t be with your kids for very long, so I try to make every moment full of fun! I am punctual and responsible, and I can’t wait for the chance to meet some new families!
