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.

Kids keep grown people active and open-minded while challenging us to be patient. In that way kids are excellent teachers. As a college student at Louisiana's Xavier University in New Orleans, thanks to the recommendation of an instructor I gained work as a mentor to an elementary school student named Tom for one year before he moved back his home in the Hebei Province of China. My duties included regularly driving him to and from school, daily library visits along with tutoring, food runs, sporting events, circus trips, and so forth. I keep in touch with Tom who turned 18 years old earlier this year. I worked as a doula for my sister during her pregnancy and since then have gained five years of experience as a substitute teacher in elementary and middle schools as well as at high schools, in both SPED and adverse behavioral programs in addition to traditional school programs. My skills include but not limited to culinary and liberal arts. I appreciate sports as well having been a student-athlete as a teen. I sketch, write, play guitar, cook and make juices daily with an electronic juicer. I keep a tidy environment as is needed and am CPR-certified by the National CPR Foundation.

Hi, my name is Paloma! I’m originally from Argentina and have lots of experience caring for children of all ages, from babies to teenagers. I spent 2 years in the Au Pair program, where I cared for up to 4 children at a time, gaining hands-on experience with different ages and needs. Currently I work at a daycare taking care of babies under 2 years old. I’m fluent in both English and Spanish, CPR certified, and I love creating fun and safe environments for kids. Whether it’s spending time outdoors, playing sports, helping with homework, or cooking healthy meals, I enjoy keeping children engaged and happy. I have my own reliable transportation and can provide great references upon request. I’d love the opportunity to care for your children and support your family!
