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.

I have always had a deep passion for caring for children, which led me to pursue several internships in childcare during my time in college. These experiences gave me hands-on knowledge in providing attentive and nurturing care, even though I didn’t receive formal certifications. During my internships, I helped children with their daily routines, organized fun, educational activities, and ensured they felt safe and supported at all times. My childcare experience, I have developed strong communication and organizational skills, which help me maintain a structured yet fun environment for children. While I don't have formal certifications, my hands-on experience and commitment to children’s well-being allow me to create a positive and engaging environment for kids to thrive in.

Hello! I am a responsible and fun nanny. I enjoy playing with kids, cleaning, and making food. I am very flexible, can multitask, take directions well, and love all adventures - especially outdoors! My goal is to learn something new every day. I am looking for fulltime nanny work, starting June 2nd. Certifications: - Adult, Child and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED - American Red Cross - Carseat Safety - Aspirus Health More About Me Relevant experiences where I also cared for children were… - Watching 6 kids (3-13 y.o.) for 6 days straight while their parents went on vacation - Babysitting my nieces/nephews (1-8 y.o.) over the past four years - Babysitting for families in town, especially (9-18 m.o.) - Helped my sister move her 5 kids across the country in a minivan. - Tutoring humanities and writing (16-21 y.o.) Activities I enjoy doing with children… Going for walks, picking flowers, identifying wildlife, playing yard and card games, singing or playing music (piano, voice), baking, drawing, exploring new toys and games with the children. The most important part about being a nanny… I love seeing each child's personality, their strengths and struggles. As a Christian, my goal is to provide not only for their physical health, but also their emotional and spiritual wellbeing. I believe each person has a purpose, and it is very fulfilling to encourage people to grow better each day. Special Needs... I have experience nannying children with autism and ADHD. My favorite nanny moment… I love hearing children tell stories and learning about what they find important. Once, when my 7 y.o. niece couldn't fall asleep, she called me into her room and told me all about her three crushes. One ran very fast. The other was so strong, but her favorite throws "so far!"
