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.

Hi my name is Kristin! I am 20 years old and I have been working with children since I was about 8. My first paid babysitting job was when I was 12 and since then I have worked as a mothers helper and babysitter. I taught a kindergarten class at a local homeschool co-op and was a teachers aid for an elementary class. I’m looking to be a nanny now that I am done with my schooling. I live a natural/healthy lifestyle, eating healthy and being mindful of the products I use. I am a Christian, I am hoping to find a family that shares these values. I like to do crafts and I play piano and violin. I have completed training for Newborn Care Specialist. I have my CPR and First Aid certifications.
