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 Corinne and I am finishing up my second year where I am studying biology. I love working with kids, I spent last summer working at the YMCA as a camp counselor to 5 and 6-year-olds, which was my favorite experience ever. I love caring for kids and hoping to make their summer out of school special. I would love to take your children to the park, do lots of arts and crafts, and enjoy being in the sun! I can do light cleaning and help with meals. I believe in maintaining open communication while supporting a family's unique values and routines. I like working with kids because everyday brings a new opportunity to learn, grow, and make a positive impact. I love watching children develop new skills and discover their unique interests and personalities. Being able to support their growth while creating a safe, fun, environment is very rewarding. In my spare time I enjoy being outside and going on hikes or taking walks to the park.
