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.

Hi my name is Nicole and this is why I love sitting . Growing up in the foster system there was always a lot of us so since a young age I’ve had the responsibility of watching my Younger sibling's being the oldest and honestly I enjoyed it so as I got older I decided to work in child care . I have worked in a church facility, and two day care facilities and I am currently at a day care facility. I love watching kids because it heals my inner child, I love seeing them laugh, learn new things, be adventurous, and outgoing . Along my years of child care work I have had multiple trainings that I have printed out documentations of including CPR, and AID. I love love the opportunity to help in anyway I can and see our next generation blossom into beautiful human beings .

I have a wide range of experience with all ages of children in different settings. I have three long term jobs as a nanny which I loved doing. I also worked with at risk children in a residential facility which tugged on my heart as well. Early in my career I taught preschool for a church which allowed me to bring my children along. I have two wonderful loving sons who have given me three beautiful grandchildren. I am truly blessed.
