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 started teaching dance to kids ages 2-12 at my dance studio and fell in love with it. That then lead me to greatly enjoy working with children, and taught me how to handle situations and problems that may arise. From there I started to babysit and eventually became a nanny full time. I acquired CPR & First Aid, along with courses on parenting, meltdowns and respectful boundaries. I'm very patient with children and love to spend quality time with them, going to the park, playing outside, and any fun indoor activity. As much as I love hanging out with kiddos, I do know when play time is and when work or homework time is. I haven't had problems getting along with children and have had very strong relationships with them.

Elena was very communicative. She came when she said she would and she helped out our family immensely. Not only did our kids, especially our 4 year old daughter really enjoy spending time with her, she also was thorough and efficient with household chores and food prep. She was very friendly and integrated into our family dynamic seamlessly. We would have her back in a heartbeat.

Hi I am Cece, and I have about 3 years of paid babysitting experience and I am CPR Certified. I have a little boy with down syndrome who is 1 (I will have to bring him with me if that's something you're comfortable with. He's very sweet, loves kids). I enjoy hanging out and working with kids and watching them learn and grow. With me, your kids will receive appropriate care. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, going outside or going on walks/hikes, and doing photography. I am happy to start ASAP and am comfortable with pets. Hope to hear from you!
