Apply to be a Nanny, Sitter or Event Sitter
What is the difference between a Nanny and a Sitter?
Nannies are hired to care for your children on consistent schedules while sitters are hired on an as-needed, short-term basis, usually for a short period of time. This consistency helps nannies become a part of the family and support in the development of the children they care for.
Nannies can have responsibilities that go beyond child care, such as getting the children to and from places like appointments, planning fun activities, and helping the children learn. To do this effectively, nannies should be aware of the children’s emotional needs, interests, and disinterests. Some of the duties include but are not limited to daily activities, bathing, making beds, meal preparation for the Children, taking the child to classes, playgroups and lighthouse keeping. All American Sitters represent nannies who are highly skilled, experienced and passionate about child care. All our Nannies have gone through our two interviews process, including a reference and dynamic screening process. We do this to ensure that we only refer to Nannies who are reliable, trustworthy and resourceful.

As a professional live-out nanny, you can expect a highly skilled and experienced caregiver who is passionate about providing excellent child care services. The primary responsibility of a live-out nanny is to provide a nurturing and safe environment for children in the comfort of their own home.
In addition to providing daily care, a live-out nanny is also responsible for various tasks such as bathing, meal preparation, taking the child to classes, playgroups, and light housekeeping. At All American Sitters, we take great care in selecting only the best nannies who have gone through a rigorous two-interview process, including reference and dynamic screening, to ensure their reliability, trustworthiness, and resourcefulness.
Compared to sitters who are hired on an as-needed, short-term basis, nannies offer a consistent presence in the lives of children. By becoming a part of the family, nannies can support children's development and help create a stable and secure environment.
Apart from providing basic child care, nannies can also have additional responsibilities such as scheduling appointments, planning fun activities, and assisting with homework and learning. To be effective in these tasks, nannies must be aware of the children's emotional needs, interests, and disinterests.
Overall, a live-out nanny provides an invaluable service to families by offering dependable and professional care for their children. At All American Sitters, we are committed to ensuring that our nannies exceed your expectations and provide a safe and nurturing environment for your children to thrive.

Sitters tend to focus on the safety of children rather than the child’s life development, as they have a less consistent role in their life. With less regular hours, one sitter can have a handful of families that may call on them at any given time. They often work during the evenings, after school hours, sick children, date nights and sometimes morning.
If a sitter has a significant amount of child care experience and/or has any skills or certifications that parents find particularly valuable (e.g., first aid/CPR, multilingual, special needs), you may want to consider paying them a little more than the going rate.
