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 Brooklyn and I'd love to help you out~! ^-^ In the past, I have volunteered with MOPS (a paid position) and MOO, both for short periods of time. I really enjoy helping kids learn, and I like becoming a friend that they can trust and confide in whenever they need help. Being homeschooled for many years myself, I often helped out my own sibling with schoolwork and discovered that I was passionate about helping others and teaching. If you have any pets, no worries~! I've always been an animal lover and I'm fine with most household pets as long as they are friendly and not aggressive. <3 A fun, random fact about me: I've been learning Korean for 5 years and have no intention of stopping~! ^^ <3 I can clean, make meals and snacks, and don't mind getting my hands dirty. If you're looking for someone who is friendly, patient, and responsible, then I hope you'll consider me for any help you need. ^-^ Thank you for taking the time to read my bio, I look forward to hopefully working with you~!!

I absolutely love babies and kids. I have been baby sitting since I was 11 years old. At 16 I raised my nephew from birth to 2 years old while going to high school. I have two babies of my own a 7 year old little girl and a 5 year old special needs baby boy. My son is gtube fed and on oxygen so I have plenty of experience in special needs kiddos. I love you so outside time, arts and crafts, coloring is my absolute favorite and I also do reading time with the kiddos. I do currently watch 2 1 year old babies one of whom I'm been watching since he was 4 months old.
