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.

A little bit about me My name is Taryn. I’ve been taking care of children for almost 3 years professionally, working in a daycare. Although I have been caring for children much longer. I have cpr certificates for adult and child, along with first aid, and countless other trainings pertaining to childcare. I have about 9 families I consistently babysit/ nanny for outside of working at a daycare. I hold a CDA for infant toddler, while preschool age and older toddlers are my favorite age groups to work in, I do have experience with all age groups. I’m looking to start full time nannying and get out of the daycare scene for some more one on one teaching and childcare experiences.
