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 do have all of my state clearances, children clearances, driving record and fingerprints! Plus CPR and first aid! I just don’t have them through this app. But I can show proof of them ! I love being a sitter because I enjoy supporting children as they learn, grow, and explore the world around them. Creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment is something I take seriously, and I find it rewarding to be someone families can trust. I strive to make children feel comfortable, valued, and encouraged while in my care. I have experience working with children of different ages, from infants to school-aged kids, through babysitting and ongoing family care. I am familiar with daily routines such as meal prep, naps, bedtime, homework help, and playtime, and I am confident managing multiple children while maintaining structure and consistency. I bring strong reliability, communication, and organization skills to every role. I am patient, attentive, and safety-focused, and I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities that are both fun and enriching. Families can count on me for dependable, thoughtful, and nurturing care.

Hey there! My name is Ingrid, and I’m a 27-year-old mom to an awesome 16-month-old girl. I have a Bachelor’s in Psychology with a specialization in Adolescent Development. So, it’s safe to say that I want my life to revolve around helping children! I’ve been caring for kids for as long as I can remember, starting with my brother who’s 10 years younger than me, my younger cousins, and the neighborhood kids. Currently, I’m an aunt to three nephews under the age of 4, and I care for them along with my daughter often. I’d love the opportunity to work with children of any age and bring my experience and developmental knowledge to the table. My strength really lies in implementing these teaching methods and aiming for very intentional daily growth. My daughter would join me during care (she’s freakishly joyful). I’m so excited to be a helpful and reliable addition to your family!
