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, I'm Annelise! I have over 17 years of paid babysitting/nanny experience with children ranging from newborn to preteen, most extensively with newborns and toddlers, and have experience caring for up to five children at a time. I enjoy art projects, outdoor activities, reading, sports, and playing make believe =) I can help with homework, meal prep, and light household chores. I also love animals and have plenty of experience with pets. I have a car and a clean driving record so transport to/from school or extracurricular activities is no problem! I’m also CPR and First Aid certified. One thing to be aware of is I do take 3 weeks off every fall to travel internationally, as well as a week in the spring. This is nonnegotiable, but you would be aware of the dates months in advance. If you think I would be a good fit for your family please feel free to contact me! I look forward to hearing from you!
