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.

As a nanny/caregiver, I love being able to connect with children, as well as the parents. I have been a nanny for close to three years, working with children of all ages, newborns up to pre teen age, as well as experience with multiples and special needs. I gravitate toward a Montessori approach when it comes to learning. I pride myself in having clear communication and great work ethic. In addition to a clean background check, I am First Aid and CPR certified, I have all clearances, and reliable transportation. Other than working with children, I love being outdoors, cooking, and reading a good book. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi there! My name is Pat. I am a very energetic, artistic, creative and loving mother, grand-mother and babysitter. My career has been as an artist in many capacities, however, I so very much enjoy being around children, so I looked forward to babysitting, since my children and grandkids live far and I miss them! I would love to be able to help you out! I feel confident in my abilities after all these years, of handling any emergencies, or issues in a mature, calm, and decisive way. I am a very honest and caring person. Children bring me so very much joy and I love helping them! I thoroughly enjoy reading to them, playing games, crafts, exercising, and of course, any kind of artwork! Please feel free to ask me anything at all. It would be an honor to be able to care for and spend very meaningful time with ur child/children! One thing I am not comfortable doing is sitting children in front of the TV for long periods of time… (unless it is something you need them to watch.) During the time they are away from there parent(s) I feel a deep responsibility to keep them engaged, happy and thriving. I truly hope to meet with you soon. But if it is not meant to be, ‘Good Luck’ in your search! I remember how stressful it was at times to find a sitter… have a great day!!! Pat ☀️😊🤗 Ps… I would also be fine with helping out with cooking, laundry, and any small jobs you might need done.

I'm a teacher assistant for early childhood. I've been working with this business for three years which has been extremely rewarding to me and to those around me. Communication skills are extremely important for this job since the parents keep in touch with us through-out the day regarding the wellbeing of their child. One of my biggest accomplishment in my current job is having the opportunity to be the main teacher in the afternoon schedule. I'm currently a college student majoring in elementary education.
