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.

I love taking care of kids and I always have a passion for them. I’ve worked with kids a lot because I have grown up with them all around me and taking care of care of them. I have had experience for about five years with kids and have always had parents rely on me without worrying about their children to take care of their kids because of how well I’ve taken care of them and showed them that. Some skills I have are CPR/First Aid, understanding child development and communication, patience, water safety, activity planning, cooking and nutrition.

Hello, my name is Sophie. I am a 25 year old, experienced, certified teacher, with a BS in early childhood education (PK-4) from Slippery Rock University. I am looking for one consistent family or a mix of a few families to work for. I am in the process of studying for more teaching certifications so working steadily but taking a break from the classroom come school time is my goal. I have been babysitting since I was about 12/13 years old and I have been teaching K-6 grade for over 2 years. I have worked with several families from SitterCity in the past, one being a full-time nanny position during Covid. I have worked in various environments, I have my own vehicle, I am CPR certified, and I have experience with children of all ages- infants to teens. From diaper changes to meal preps, playing pretend to outside actives. I have done it all! Including drop offs and pick ups, taking to school, running errands, bus waits, laundry, household chores, etc. I am patient and reliable, and I love making connections with the kids. Please feel free to contact me for further questions, references, or to set up a call/meet! Thank you for considering me for your family!
