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 5 1/2 years of experience as a childcare worker with ages 0-14. I am first aid and CPR certified. With that experience, I’ve learned to be patient and calm and be able to create a safe environment for children in order for them to feel safe, understood, and trusted. I am energetic, bubbly, and can be creative and love helping out with arts and crafts and doing fun things with kids. I am flexible and can adapt to plan changes and work well under pressure while still being organized and paying attention to important details. I am willing to do meal prep and do some light cooking and help around the house with things such as laundry and cleaning. I am bilingual, speaking fluent english and spanish. I’d love to also help with any homework or remote learning and can tutor if needed.
