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.

I am cheerful, fun loving, creative and absolutely adore working with children. I come from a large family and, on top of that, have been nannying for ages newborn-17years for the past seven years. I am a firm believer that honesty is always the best policy and like to be crystal clear with parents about how their child is doing and what they are doing. I have experience in homeschooling as well as teaching, so assisting with homework is not new to me and I am also more than happy to help with basic household chores such as dishes, laundry, meal prep etc. I have both a license and a car. I also have CPR training and knowledge of basic first aid. I am happy to provide references as well as do a background check if you would like! Thank you so much for your consideration, I look forward to hearing from you.
