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 Camryn, and I’m a dependable, caring, and responsible sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I’m patient, attentive, organized, and always want parents to feel comfortable knowing their children are in safe and caring hands. I love creating a fun and positive environment while also respecting each family’s routines, expectations, and parenting preferences. I’m happy to help with playtime, meals and snacks, bedtime routines, house cleanup, and anything else that helps make your day a little easier! I have several years of childcare experience, beginning in my teenage years when I regularly babysat for multiple families. I also come from a large family with many younger cousins, nieces, and nephews, which has given me experience caring for children of many different ages and personalities. After spending time working in a corporate setting, I realized that it wasn’t the path for me and that working with children is something I truly enjoy and feel passionate about. I’m excited to return to childcare and hopefully build lasting relationships with families who are looking for someone caring, dependable, patient, and trustworthy.

I’d describe my personality as caring, passionate, hardworking. As the oldest of 13, I have experience with children of all ages. I also love working with animals! It is important to ensure that I work with someone who is the right fit, not just for me but also for the family. In my spare time, I like to sew, paint, draw, knit, spend time with friends, and do outdoor activities when the weather permits. I am also a huge advocate for gentle parenting, and believe that 'bad' behavior is due to an unmet need. I love cooking, and also don't mind doing any housework that you need help with. Thank you!
