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.

Hey there! My name's Savannah and I've been officially in childcare as a full-time nanny for a little over a year now. I have experience with kids from infants to young teens and love seeing each age thrive and grow in their own ways. I'm big on patience and not crying over spilt milk :) Being a kid is a lot of fun, but it has plenty of challenges as they grow and learn so much so quickly and I love having the opportunity to help them do so in a safe and happy environment. Currently, I work part-time with a family during the week, Tuesdays-Fridays so I'm looking for something part-time between Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. Whether it's something for date nights you're looking for or something more consistent, I would love for you to reach out! Thank you so much for your time!
