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.

I have taught most grades from preschool through high school, including in traditional public school settings, charter school, camps, and programs for children with disabilities. I do have a baby of my own who is 6 months old and will be with me when I am working. With my extensive professional and personal experience, I am prepared to take care of your child as well as I take care of my own.

Leah looked after our three children for about a year. She is reliable and helpful, and her background as an educator was especially valuable in teaching our middle child, Joel (age five), early reading skills and how to recognize new words. She also did arts and crafts with the youngest while the older boys were at school and showed genuine interest in our children’s academic and emotional development. I am grateful for Leah’s support!
