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.

Been in childcare on and off for years now as I made my way through college and different career moves. It's always been the one thing that I kept coming back to. Now that I've become a mom myself I appreciate everything the experience has prepared me for and I want to help fellow moms. I'm near the colleges and can help those wanting to go back to school. Providing loving childcare right out of my home. A 14month old who loves other kids Also available for after school care if needed Willing to take more than one child at once and siblings Non-Smoker No animals or pets (both momma and baby have allergies, sensitive skin, and baby gets eczema flare ups easily) I also have a working washer and dryer, so feel free to drop off baby/child's laundry if it's all piling up on you .

I love being around kids because they bring so much joy and energy. Being a mom has shown me how important it is for children to feel safe, cared for, and encouraged, and I enjoy creating that environment. I have 7 years of experience raising my own children, including a school-aged child and a baby. That means I have hands-on experience with all stages—infancy, toddlerhood, and early school years. I know what it takes to manage routines like meals, nap times, bedtime, and learning activities. • Experienced in caring for infants and young children • Skilled at handling meals, diaper changes, bath time, and bedtime • Strong patience and communication skills • Reliable and attentive with a natural understanding of kids’ needs
