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 two daughters of my own that would be present with me. My firstborn is a year and a half old and my second is 3 months. I don’t have any nannying experience but I have a lot of babysitting experience. I have also been a chaperone for church events and a tutor for special education students. I enjoy my time with kids as they help me learn so much and I can teach them new things as well. I am also CPR and first aid certified. I do have a car but since I have two kids of my own the backseat is full and I would only be able to fit one older child in my front seat if I had to bring them somewhere.
