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.

Hello! My name is Dominique (Lauren is my first name). I am an artist and nanny living on Camano Island! I am looking for part-time work, around 30 hrs/week. I am comfortable driving children, but prefer not to use my own car. Most of my experience had a been with ages 11 months-5 years. I love working with toddlers especially, it’s fun to be a part of them learning about the world and how to communicate. And as they get older watching their sense of humor develop is always a delight. I place an emphasis on getting time outside and always plan my day with that in mind. I live by the saying “there’s no bad weather, only bad clothing.” I started foraging mushrooms a few years ago and love when I’m able get kids interested in nature too. I love to prepare healthy snacks and meals and encourage trying new foods.
