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.

Making a positive impact on children's lives is my passion. For four years, I've supported families by providing reliable care. I am patient, creative, and friendly. I enjoy playing board games, puzzles, and educational apps with children. I have some college experience, including Early Child Development coursework. I am also trained in First Aid and CPR. I am comfortable caring for one child. I can help with cooking, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. I communicate with parents at pickup and provide regular updates via text or phone call, always following your preferred method. While I am comfortable enforcing household rules, I would appreciate clear guidance. I believe in nurturing young minds and look forward to the opportunity to connect with your family! I have my LNA in Vermont and New Hampshire. I have my pediatric advanced life support.

I currently teach at a morning preschool, nanny in the afternoons, and am working towards my bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. I have a strong passion for working with children and learn so much from them every day. I believe all children deserve to feel safe, seen, heard, and valued, and work hard to create a safe space for the children in my care. I am currently seeking a full-time summer nannying job and, for the right family, would be interested in staying on past the summer.

Hi, my name is Sophie, and I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old. I would regularly care for two families and would help out other local families as well. I have been a ski camp counselor, a ski coach, and a youth mentor in the past. Though expired, I have gone through lifeguard and CPR training. Last fall, I shadowed, and substitute taught K-2 at my elementary school back home for a month. I haven't babysat out here yet despite moving to SLC from the northeast three years ago.

Hello families! I would love to help you out as a part-time nanny for your 0 - 3 year old. I am passionate about helping babies and children learn through play. I have experience working at the VINS summer camp, helping children in schools, and being full-time mom to my almost-2 year old. I have just updated my First Aid and CPR certifications. Being in the midst of parenting a toddler gives me an intensive example of what all the stages of a young child's life can be like. I would look forward to guiding your child in exploring the world and developing their unique self. Examples of activities I enjoy with babies and children are safe sensory explorations of everyday toys and objects or materials, creative cooking, exploring and observing nature outdoors, and music with movement. Since my daughter would be joining, our children would have the opportunity to learn from each other. I also offer the option to attend a variety of local storytimes and playgroups. Please let me know if you are interested or would like any more information. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you. Hannah
