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.

Caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. I’m a mom of three grown children and a proud grandmother to two young granddaughters, and spending time with little ones is something I truly enjoy. Earlier in my life, I spent 7–8 years working in a daycare setting, caring for children of all ages, from infants through school-age. During that time, I also served as an Assistant Director, which gave me a strong understanding of children’s routines, safety, and the importance of clear, supportive communication with families. I’m patient, nurturing, and attentive, and I believe children thrive when they feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. Whether it’s playtime, meals, quiet moments, or helping maintain a consistent routine, I bring a calm and dependable presence to every family I work with. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your child in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously.
