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.

My name is Eman Elouassi. I recently graduated from Virginia Tech with a BS in public health, and I’ve always really enjoyed working with kids and family-oriented environments. I have several years of babysitting and nannying experience with children ranging from ages 3 to 12, including tutoring, transportation, helping with routines, and keeping kids engaged in a fun and supportive way. I also previously worked at a math summer camp and currently still babysit occasionally for families in Northern Virginia. While living in Blacksburg, I worked as a dental assistant, where I regularly worked with anxious patients and children, which taught me a lot about patience, communication, and staying calm in busy situations. I’m naturally organized, active, and hands-on, and I genuinely enjoy creating environments where kids feel comfortable, supported, and able to have fun
