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! I’m nadia, and I’ve been babysitting for about 5 years now. I truly enjoy spending time with kids — whether we’re playing games, doing crafts, or just hanging out. I’ve looked after children of all different ages, and I always try to create a fun, safe, and supportive space for them.I’m someone who’s responsible, patient, and easy to get along with. I know how important it is for parents to feel confident leaving their kids with someone they trust, and I always do my best to be that person.I can help with things like homework, bedtime routines, meals, and light cleanup if needed. Babysitting isn’t just a job for me — I really enjoy being around kids and watching them grow and learn.

Hi! My name is Jackie. I have over 15 years experience with children of all ages. My last position was a nanny for 3 wonderful kids that I had the opportunity to become a part of their family and watch them grow into young adults. I love working with children. I'm a true multi tasker that gets things done. I love animals and am a bit OCD when it comes to cleaning. I can be strict when needed but can also be fun and cool. I have a 7 year old, 2 doggies, 5 lizards and a husband that I take care of on a daily basis so I can handle a lot!! I look forward to hearing from you!!
