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’m located in Monroe but can drive out anywhere! I’m 18 and am the oldest of 5! I am in secondary education at Delta community college. I have previously went to Ulm to study the same but recently have made the swap! I’m not Cpr certified anymore but can definitely redo my certification if that’s something you are looking for! My hours are pretty flexible until school starts but i will be trying to do only online school so should be free all the time. I love kids and have had years or experience babysitting and nannying! Thank you hope to hear back from you!

Hi, I’m McKenzie. I have one full year of paid babysitting, but I’ve been helping take care of children almost all of my life. I have experience with all ages. For my previous family I had children that were six, nine, eleven, and twelve. So I’m comfortable with many different ages and multiple children at once. For my last family I also cooked, cleaned/did laundry, helped with homework/projects, and even helped with bedtime as needed. I can work Monday-Sunday, day or night, whatever you as parents need. Please take me into consideration, thank you.
