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’ve spent my entire teen years babysitting / pet sitting and i’d love nothing more than to make your little ones happy and smile. I’m both first aid and CPR certified. I’ve worked with children, infants, and even teens myself. My favorite thing to encourage your little ones to do is arts and crafts (which I can bring my own) to make memories for parents to have forever. Im very patient and friendly. Even if your child has special needs, I would still love to nanny or babysit for them. I want to pursue a career in child care and nannying.

Hello, my name is Heather. I am 42 years old, a mother of three and love caring for children, as I have been doing for many years. I am a loving and caring person, as I treat the child as my own. I like the child and parent(s) to meet me first so they can get comfortable with me and my family. I am pretty flexible with babysitting hours. I do have a car and a clean driving record. I would prefer to babysit in my home with the child dropped off and picked up, but I am open to the possibility of being in your home. I do like to be paid up front, depending on your pay period. Payment can be negotiated. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have references available. Please contact me for more information.
