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.

You can expect that April will always bring a loving and optimistic attitude. I was impressed how quickly she won over my two year olds heart. It was evident right away that caring for children is second nature to April.

I love working with children of all ages! I grew up helping at my mom's daycare and continued to babysit and be a nanny throughout high school. Now that I am in college I realize that I want to continue my passion for taking care of children. I have very flexible availability. I enjoy assisting older kids with their homework and coming up with fun activities for children as well. I have no problem working with family pets and cleaning around the house as well! I look forward to working with you and meeting your family!
