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.

Last-minute, school and tutoring, date nights—find the right babysitters for you.

From the time my little sister was an infant up until she was 5 years old I spent everyday with her through all the ups and down. Last year I was a swim instructor teaching children ages 3-11, up until January 2023 when I moved to Johnson City. I have grown to be very patient and adore kids. I am currently certified in CPR, AED, First Aid, and Basic Swim Instruction. Aside from my little sister, I have baby sat with children ages 4 and 6, and 1. I am currently in school majoring in Early Childhood Education, although I am considering taking a year off for financial reasons.
