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.

I graduated from Duquesne University with a 3.6 gpa and a psychology degree. I grew up with little siblings. I have a 9 year old brother and he is my main source of experience. Taking care of him the past 9 years and watching him grow up has been the biggest joy of my life. I now work as a family service worker for the state and am around children most of the day!

Hello! I am a current college student who has experience babysitting! Throughout middle and high school, I would often babysit and petsit for my neighbors. This included children (2) ages 4-11 and dogs, but I do have a pet cat so I know how to work with them as well! I am a very energetic and outgoing person and would love to work with a family who is welcoming and who I could build a relationship with. I also do have CPR training, which I received in high school (it was mandatory to graduate). I would also like to add that kids seem to love me!
