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.

Hi! My name is Jenni, and I am online college student, currently working towards obtaining a bachelor's degree in elementary education. I come from a family of nine, and we've lived in the Wenatchee Valley for the past eighteen years. My hobbies include reading, baking, cleaning, and spending time outdoors. Growing up, I always wanted to work with children, specifically as a teacher. My parents, grandmother, and several other relatives were educators, so you could say teaching runs in my family. More than anything, I desire to inspire children to love their lives, learning, and embrace their full potential. I have experience caring for newborns, toddlers, preschoolers, and adolescents, on both a paid and a volunteer basis. I have helped out with nursery and childcare at my church and a few schools, in addition to babysitting for both friends and family and being a full time nanny. I have a true heart for children, and I would be honored if you'd consider me to care for yours. I have a flexible schedule, and I am both reliable and dedicated. I would be happy to provide references and a background check. Please reach out to me about any questions or concerns, or if I can provide any additional information!

Jennifer understands kids and came with a small bag of basic activities that the kids loved. When she wasn't pretending to be a mermaid in water in our living room she was reading jokes from a joke book or working on a puzzle. The kids were telling jokes for hours after she left. My kids enjoyed having Jennifer watching them a lot.

I have a BS degree in Elementary Education, Early Childhood Education, and Health. Infants are my specialty, however, I have worked with all ages of children from birth-14 years of age. I was a nanny for a family of 5 children, including a set of twins. My last job was a nanny for a family of two girls for six years. My current job is a nanny for a boy that was 2 days old and he is now 6. But I’m moving and looking for another nanny position. I am a nanny that likes to play with children and do fun activities with them. I am not a nanny who will just sit your child in front of a T. V. when I take care of children my sole focus is on them. I want to engage them in activities that will help their developmental growth. From reading books, playing dress up and building blocks to walks outside, practicing ABC's, and playing hide and seek. I plan fun, engaging activities for your child/children while I take care of them.
