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.

Last-minute, school and tutoring, date nights—find the right babysitters for you.

Hi! My name is Jaydenya, and I’m a loving, dependable, and nurturing nanny with 6 years of childcare and nanny experience. I have experience caring for children ranging from newborns to 5 years old, including caring for multiple children at once. I truly enjoy creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I’m also a mom to my 1.5-year-old son, who I bring along with me. I have previous experience bringing him with me while nannying, and he does very well around other children. I love planning activities, getting outside, exploring, and keeping little ones entertained throughout the day. I’m currently looking for a position with a family who is comfortable with me bringing my son along. I would love to find a family where we can build a trusting, long-term relationship and become a positive part of their children’s lives.

I am a 37 year old ELA teacher with a passion for childcare and watching children learn and grow outside of the classroom (I have been babysitting since I was 10 years old). Summer is the perfect time to explore new and creative learning opportunities that are fun for all children. I do have an 11 year old son, so I am well-versed in various positive outlets that do not revolve around technology and are more discovery-based active learning activities. I love being outside, active, and fun. I am First Aid and CPR certified, and I have a valid driver's license if kiddos have sports or other activities to get to.
