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 Jenny and I am a professional nanny who lives in Greenfield. I have a BA in psychology from UMass, am certified as a preschool teacher by EEC, and am certified in basic first aid and cpr. But even more importantly, I really love taking care of children! Raising my own daughters was so rewarding, I decided to continue helping other families with their full time adventure! I feel that I have a healthy balance of attentiveness and playfulness. Play is a child's work, and our days are focused around having fun exploring the world. Taking a trip to the park, library, a museum, or discovering what is hiding under a rock in the backyard is thrilling through a child's eye, and I thoroughly enjoy being along for the ride and helping facilitate those discoveries! I look forward to hearing how I can help you and your child on life's adventure!

Hi! I’m a responsible and caring 19-year-old high school graduate with a strong passion for childcare and development. I’ve completed a job shadow in an elementary school classroom, which gave me hands-on experience supporting young learners and understanding how to create a positive, engaging environment. I’ve also spent lots of time caring for my 5-year-old nephew, so I’m comfortable with daily routines, playtime, helping with meals, and keeping kids entertained in fun and creative ways. Safety is very important to me, and I am CPR certified. I’m patient, dependable, and love helping kids learn, grow, and have fun. I look forward to meeting you and your family!
