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 love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy connecting with kids, helping them learn, and creating a fun, safe space where they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s playing games, doing crafts, or helping with routines, I like making everyday moments meaningful and engaging. I have several years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, and elementary-aged kids. I regularly babysit for local families and also help care for my younger siblings and cousins, including children with autism and ADHD, so I’m very comfortable adapting to different needs and personalities. I’m studying elementary education and graduating a year early, with a focus on special education. I’ve taken multiple courses in child development and have strong skills in communication, patience, and problem-solving. I’m reliable, organized, and always prioritize safety while keeping things fun and positive for kids.

I worked in a local childcare facility part-time for about 3 years. I was a teachers aide in the infant room. I attended continuing education classes in early childhood development and earned some certificates. I am trained in first aid and CPR. I have also worked at a before/after school program (2014-2015 school year) at a local elementary school as an assistant supervisor. I cared for two children in their home, but sadly this came to an end last August because they both started preschool. I have been with this family since July of 2012. We play, read and always have lots of fun. We also go outside and take walks if the weather cooperates. I prepare simple lunches for them and get the little girl down for a nap. I clean up any messes we make and also help out with the family's laundry. In addition, I occasionally take care of their two dogs when they go out of town. On a personal note, I am married with two children and two dogs. Finally, I truly adore children and would love to be given the opportunity to care for yours. Thank You!
