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! My name is Jay and I'm 26 & a parent to a 6 y/o looking for a new nannying position! I have been a lead pre-toddler teacher at a daycare for a little over a year and am trying getting back into nannying now. I am specifically looking for a family who is LGBTQ+ friendly and will not have issues with someone apart of that group. I will not be able to work for anyone who is not ok with that and can't provide a good and safe environment for me to work in. I love babysitting, pet sitting, and also enjoy doing house cleaning work while I'm on the job if needed! As a lead teacher I create weekly lesson plans for my 1-2 y/o kiddos with daily activities made to help their developmental growth by learning through play! If you're interested, I'd love to incorporate that into my job for your little one. I can take kids anywhere they need to be during the day via car as well. I am also CPR, First Aid, and MAT certified.
