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 Izzie, and I am currently a pre-med college student attending. I am home for the summer and would love the opportunity to help out with babysitting! I have experience babysitting kids age 2+ and I am CPR certified. I love spending time with kids, and creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for them. Whether its playing outside, doing crafts, or just keeping little ones entertained and cared for, I always try to be patient, engaging, and dependable. As someone pursuing a career in medicine, caring for others is something that is very important to me, and I truly enjoy building connections with families and kids. I would live the chance to get to know your family!

I have been taking care of children for about 18 years starting as a mother's helper then moving on to be a babysitter and nanny. I have done a few nanny shares in the past starting when the children were 3 months old. I am currently the lead infant teacher at a nature based early childhood program. I have a specialty and fondness for infants and toddlers, as these are the ages I have worked with most. I like to think of myself as a fun-loving and responsible person. I have experience with children with disabilities. I am looking to care for young infants on the weekends or occasionally in the evenings after work.

Hi! I'm Harriet, and I'll be moving back to Chicago this September after spending the past year in my hometown of Vermont. Before moving home, I lived in Chicago for two years and attended Lake Forest College, where I played lacrosse. Since returning to Vermont, I've been nannying full-time, and it's made me realize how much I genuinely love working with children. I'm looking for a wonderful family in Chicago to grow with as I make the move back. I'll be living in Wicker Park and will be completing my Graphic Design certification remotely while also beginning massage therapy school. My favorite part of nannying is building a real connection with both the kids and their family. I'm naturally goofy, playful, and energetic, and I love encouraging creativity, imagination, and lots of laughter. At the same time, I value being dependable, patient, and creating a safe, supportive environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. I truly enjoy becoming someone a family can count on, and I'd love to find a long-term position where I can be a positive part of your children's lives. I can't wait to meet a great family and start this exciting new chapter back in Chicago!
