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.

Hi! My name is Leah Becker and I am looking to get back into babysitting. I currently work in the Rutters Kitchen (and have been for the past 3 years.) And I only work 1-2 days a week there so I have lots of time for babysitting. I have plenty of experience with kids and have had a year of paid babysitting. I love kids, I am great with pets, and I am always happy to help around the house with cleaning, dishes, etc. A little bit about me: I have an identical twin sister. I live on a farm and have horses, goats, and sheep. I love riding and showing livestock. I’m willing to travel up to 45 minutes away, possibly more depending on the circumstances. Thank you!
