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.

Bringing eight years of experience to your family, I'm eager to provide attentive care for your child. My journey began with positive babysitting experiences, fueling my desire to support families and positively impact young lives. I am patient, creative, and approachable. I communicate with parents using their preferred method, including verbal updates at pickup and regular texts. I follow the parents' lead when it comes to household rules. I hold a college degree and have completed Early Childhood Education (ECE) and Early Child Development coursework. I am also certified in First Aid Training and CPR Training. I enjoy playing outdoor games, board games, and educational activities. I am happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, and carpooling. I'm comfortable caring for multiple children. My goal is to provide a nurturing environment where your child can thrive, and I look forward to the possibility of becoming a part of your family's support system.

Hello! I've always enjoyed caring for children, I truly feel like I can make an impact on a child's life in a positive way. I have experience working with a handful of children, both neurotypical and on the spectrum. While I have only worked with paying clients for about a year, I've cared for the children close to me all my life. As a bachelor's student in psychology, I have extensive knowledge of different care methods for children with a variety of disabilities and mental disorders. I pride myself on equal and balanced care, I believe in the strength and resilience of all children. Thank you for your consideration!
