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 Jenna Hovet. I am 22 years old. I absolutely love babysitting. I have done both nannying and babysitting, plus I worked at a daycare in High school. Throughout Covid I helped tutor an elementary aged student. I have had weekly jobs, random date night jobs, and overnights! I want kids to feel loved, seen, and heard. I value the uniqueness in each child. I love to have fun and I am super creative. I am capable and I am a fast learner. I’m happy to cook, clean, do laundry, plan activities, and basically anything that involves watching kids. I’m happy to meet pets and love them too!! I have many references from babysitting and nannying. I’m happy to provide names and numbers! I just recently moved to Pennsylvania from Oregon. I can’t wait to make more babysitting connections. I have been trained in CPR and first aid and am going to get my certification renewed ASAP.
