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.

Last-minute, school and tutoring, date nights—find the right babysitters for you.

Hi! I’m a reliable, compassionate nanny with 8 years of experience caring for infants, babies, and toddlers. I’m FBI fingerprinted, have all required child abuse clearances, and am certified in CPR and First Aid. Most recently, I worked in a daycare for children with complex medical needs, where I provided attentive, individualized care in a safe and nurturing environment. I love helping children learn and grow through play, routines, and age-appropriate activities. In addition to childcare, I cook and meal prep healthy meals and snacks and have professional housekeeping experience. I’m happy to assist with laundry, dishes, organization, and light or deep cleaning to help busy families keep their homes running smoothly. I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and creating a warm environment where children feel safe, loved, and encouraged to thrive.
