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.

Hello!(: I am a working college student, and I love to spend my extra time helping as much as I can with babysitting for families, volunteering, and helping out with my immediate family. I love to babysit and nanny children as it gives me an opportunity to help children have positive stimulation through conversation, crafts, outside exposure, trying nutritious healthy foods, and just overall learning more about the world and their surroundings. I look forward to working with you!

I'm a friendly and calm sitter with several years of experience in paid childcare, including roles as a nanny and babysitter, as well as several years of experience as an aunt to a three-year-old. I love pets and have experience with most pets, as well as horses, so I am also available for pet care should you go on vacation! I have my own sedan, so I have room for kiddos to be dropped off or picked up from school and activities.
