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.

Elise has been our go-to babysitter for our two boys - 2 and 4 - for two years now. She handles the boys very well, and they end up behaving much better with her than with us! She is very punctual, and has no problem staying late (which often happens). She's great!

My varied background with children of all ages, and my education provide a wealth of experience and knowledge that will enrich any home. In the past, I have been a nursery school teacher, provided childcare in my own home, was co-director of an elementary age after school program and summer day camp, and I was Christian Education Director at two churches, teaching children of all ages and multi-age groups. I homeschooled my two boys for 10 years. Currently, I am a professional pastel artist, and have taught pastel art classes to elementary age children. My educational background is an MA In Marriage, Family and Child Counseling, with a special emphasis on counseling with children. I am in good heath and am energetic. I enjoy creating an atmosphere of fun, easily engaging with children on their level. I love sharing my excitement for life with children, and also creating a peaceful, nurturing environment where they can feel secure. I can assist with all daily activities, supporting the care of your children in your home, and can also help with tutoring and teaching. It would be a great privilege and blessing to walk alongside you, assisting you in caring for your children.

We love Debbie. My son took right to her and talks about her for days afterwards. She brings her bag of art and has so much fun. She is an amazing communicator and very understanding. She’s thorough with getting all the information needed to care for your little as well as possible. I definitely encourage you to use her, you won’t be disappointed.

Ireland is a wonderful caregiver. She has been our babysitter for almost a year and we couldn't be happier with her. She's communicative, respectful, nurturing and genuinely adores our daughter. She's become a close friend of the family and we're not sure what we'd do without her!

Natalia has been great. She has been our nanny for 5 months. She has been cheerful, upbeat, professional. She shows up on time, keeps the kitchen counter clean, does the babys laundry, gives her a bath, feeds her bottles and solid food, and Freya is always half when I get home. We have had a great experience with her.

Taj is great with my daughter! She has only been there a short time and I can tell she really loves it! Her son is so sweet and my daughter loves to play with him. As an added bonus Taj does her hair better than I do! I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter! Kennita
