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! I’m Bree. I’m a caring, naturally nurturing, and educational person with 3 years of nanny experience. For one of those years, I was a nanny to a 10 month old and a 2 year old. For two years, I was a nanny to a 3 year old boy and a 4 month old baby who was born prematurely. Right before I accepted that job, I worked at Goddard for a few months as the lead teacher in the 2-year-old classroom. I love to go outside, go to the park, and teach kiddos lots of new things! I love to let them help me in the kitchen and bake. I will have to renew my clearances, but I will have no problem doing that, and I have plenty of references and safe transportation.

Hello My name is Laura. I am a non smoking married mother of three adult daughters. I have over 15 years of child care/ household management experience. I am CPR Certified/ First-Aid Certified. (Letter of recommendation and references upon request) I believe being a nanny is more than meeting their physical needs and keeping them safe. I believe each and every child is full of potential and as a nanny I get the opportunity to come along side the parents to help the little ones grow and thrive in a loving , creative environment. I am looking for a full time rewarding position. But would consider part time daylight hours. I also am a pastry chef and enjoy preparing meals. Early mornings are not a problem. I have a clean driving record And a current background check. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely Laura Hurd
