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.

Avery was FANTASTIC! She was incredibly attentive and attuned to our 11 month old daughter. She was also very patient and understanding when our daughter had a difficult day with her naps. Avery has a calming presence and our daughter loved spending her days with her. We hope Avery can help out with our daughter again down the road.

I’m a baker and student at PVCC studying education. As the oldest sibling in a large family I was born to babysit! I have 4 years of professional experience and I love to cook. I don’t mind housekeeping in my downtime, I have reliable transportation, and I have experience tutoring friends up to the high school level. I am also an animal lover and am comfortable taking care of any pets that don’t eat live bugs. I am detail oriented, adaptable, and quick under pressure. I understand that it’s not easy to leave your whole world in someone else’s care, so my priority at all times is safety. No exceptions! I’d love to get to know you and see if I am a good fit for your family!

At the present time, I am interested in making child care my career. I have been a caregiver for 25 years, including raising three children of my own. As a babysitter/nanny, I have cared for infants as young as 6 weeks up to children of 13 years of age. I am comfortable with all age groups but find toddlers and preschool aged children to be my favorite age group. My philosophy is too much television creates a lazy child. Children who sit in front of a television are missing out on physical activities, and opportunities to make friends and expand on their social skills.
