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 cpr, first aide, a choking class , a defensive driving class and clearances. If you want a loving, caring, dependable sitter then please contact me at 570-220-7736.. I believe children should be on a schedule and using time out with a verbal warning first.. I enjoy teaching and reading with children, and exploring outdoors. I like to cook healthy meals and letting children help in the kitchen. I have two grown children. I like children to have fun while learning and that's what I strive for. I also believe children should have at least 30 mins. of outdoor play and should be taught to enjoy reading. My former employers will tell you that I am always on time and very reliable.

Hi! I’m Kiley. I started officially babysitting when I was 12. I did a babysitting course through upmc. I learned the hieimlich as well as cpr. I have had refreshers on them since! I've babysat so many kids! From itty bitty babies to teenagers! From 1 kid at a time to 4 or more. I've taken care of children with different disabilities and illnesses (mental or physical). I have so much patience for children who need a little extra attention. I am understanding of different situations and how they can affect a child. One thing about me is I'll always take care of any child as it is my own. It is such a privilege to take care of other peoples children. Being trusted like that is such a blessing! My goal is to always make the children and parents feel as comfortable as possible. I am willing to provide snacks and meals. I will be sure to avoid any allergens if they have any. I also love crafts and other activities. I feel it's important to engage children in them through the day. I also love playing outside, going on walks and taking the children out for other adventures. Currently I am only working from my home. With my 5 month old son. If this is something you are interested in I would love to answer any questions you may have. I will provide a safe and welcoming environment for your child. You are welcome to look around my home and make any request to make it as comfortable as possible for your little ones.

The reason I love working in childcare is because it’s one of the most rewarding jobs you can have as you get to have an impact on a child just by caring for them and helping them learn. My first childcare job was working at an after school program at an intermediate school. After that I became a campy counselor counselor and have worked at a daycare. I have completed first aid and CPR training due to the childcare jobs I have had/have.
