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.

I am a mom myself! I understand that when you leave your baby with anyone you’re leaving a piece of your heart. This truly is a passion for me. Every child deserves to have love and safe care. I also have my degree in psychology that was focused around child centered studies. Every child is a unique individual and should be treated as such. After my heels and Montessori and receiving my Montessori, infinite and toddlers certification, I also believe in following the child. Yes routine and structure is important. However, getting to know a child in their needs is much more important.

Hi everyone! I’m a professional ballerina with Syracuse City Ballet, and just looking for some extra work. I am the oldest of five children and teach ballet classes to children too! I love playing fun games, going outside with the kids, occasional ice cream trips of course, and just hanging out and doing crafts/ watching movies. I miss my family back home and my siblings back home so babysitting will help me feel fulfilled and happier too :)

I’ve been babysitting since I was about 12 years old, and when I didn’t do that I would be working with kids as a teacher’s assistant. I’ve also been a nanny before too. I’m working on my cpr certification now!
