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 absolutely love kids, I have 5 under 6 right now, I’m super easy going, I have a lot of patience, I’ve previously been working as a CMA so I’m CPR certified, I can do first aid, I’m really good with children when they get sick, I’ve been working with kids since I was younger so I have a lot of experience and on top of that I have children as well so I do understand how hard and challenging it may be taking care of children. I really enjoy spending time with my own children so it’s always exciting spending time,meeting, and learning about other peoples children too. I can definitely assure you that your child’s safety is my top priority!
