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.

My life has been all about kids! I've been an educator for 10 years, half of which were for students with special needs and autism. I've taught across multiple subject areas, including English as a Second Language and an intensive reading course. Kids have helped me become more enthusiastic, energetic and joyful. They have shown me the importance of creativity and silliness in the learning process. I am comfortable with crying, throw up, and dirty diapers. I'm definitely not afraid to play dress up, build Lego mansions, or pull out my "best" dance moves to make a kiddo smile! I'm a believer of "work hard -play hard" and "rules are for a reason."

I would highly recommend Phoenix as a babysitter! She watched our four month old while we skiied in Aspen. She took the time to learn about the best ways to care for our baby and followed my instructions. She was communicative, professional, timely and took good care of our daughter.

Hi! My name is Kelsey. I am 22 years old and I am a student at Arizona State University Online. I have been babysitting/nannying for around 3 years now and I absolutely love it. I love being around kids, helping care for them, and just helping in whatever way I can. I want to be an elementary school teacher after I graduate college so babysitting helps me prepare for that in ways and I also just enjoy working with kids! I have babysat kids from ages 6 months- 11 years so I am pretty flexible with that. I have a car so I’m able to drive and if needed I’m able to cook and clean as well!

Having studied both art and psychology, I've found a fulfilling path working with children, focusing on their development and cognitive skills through art projects. This unique blend allows me to tap into the creative and emotional aspects of a child's growth, providing a platform for them to express themselves and learn in a fun, engaging way. By integrating artistic activities, I assist kids in understanding and managing their emotions, fostering a supportive environment where they can thrive.

I love being a sitter because I enjoy spending time with children and helping them learn and grow. Being from a large family has given me lots of experience caring for kids, and I enjoy creating a safe and fun environment for them. I have experience working with children as a Teaching Assistant in elementary school classrooms. I helped students with their work, supported teachers, managed classroom activities, and provided childcare. I have skills in childcare, communication, classroom management, lesson planning, and problem-solving. I have also completed education courses through Spartanburg Community College and Swofford Career Center and gained hands-on experience working with students.
