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 Sibyl, and I’m a proud mom of three wonderful kids, ages 11 to 15. Caring for children has always been my passion and life’s work. I began working in childcare at 17 and spent 11 rewarding years as a full time nanny before becoming a mom myself. For the past four years, I’ve been a preschool teacher, where I’ve continued to foster creativity, learning, and a nurturing environment for young children. My experience ranges from newborns to school-aged kids, and I bring a balance of structure, fun, and compassion to every interaction. As a parent and educator, I understand the importance of dependable, loving care. I’m currently looking to offer flexible, part time help to a family who could use an extra set of hands in the afternoons. My availability is from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on select weekdays. If you’re looking for a reliable, experienced, and caring childcare provider who truly loves what she does, I’d love to connect and see how I can support your family’s needs.
