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.

I loved my time working at a child care facility. Watching the kids grow into their own person is so special to me. I’ve worked at a child care center for little over a year, the only reason I left that job is because I was moving. I recently graduated high school and moving on into my college years. I’m CPR and first aid certified. I’m patient and out going with the kids. Working with kids can be difficult at times but so rewarding. Feel free to contact me with any questions you have!

I love helping families because I enjoy spending time with kids, learning about them, and making life a little easier and more fun for everyone. I have experience caring for children through helping with my younger siblings, keeping routines on track, and assisting with things like meals, homework, and staying organized around the house. I’m patient, trustworthy, and flexible, and I really enjoy planning activities, helping with snacks or homework, and being someone parents can count on. My goal is to make your day a little smoother while creating a positive, caring, and fun environment for your kids, and I would be so happy to support your family in any way I can.
