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.

Hello! My name is Samantha and I have been babysitting on and off since the age of 12. Throughout college, I worked at a daycare center where I took care of children ranging in age from 3 months to 10 years old. I graduated in 2012 with my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary/Special Education. I have taught in two different elementary schools as an Instructional Aide, while doing in-home after school care. My husband and I recently moved to Pittsburgh. With it being a difficult time for new teachers to get jobs, I am really looking into nannying/babysitting as my primary job, or in addition to other work depending on the scheduling needs of the family. I am extremely reliable, positive and fun! I would love the opportunity to meet with you to discuss the possibly of getting to work for your family!
