Q: What’s the difference between a babysitter and a nanny?

Babysitters and nannies share the same primary responsibility of providing safe and enriching care for your child, but there are a few differences between them. Babysitters are typically hired for occasional work on an irregular schedule. If you’re looking for last-minute care for date night, or the occasional few hours after school, a babysitter is a great option. Nannies, on the other hand, 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. 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 babysitters interact with my child?

Babysitters 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, babysitters on Sittercity are prepared to engage them in a nurturing way.

I am currently getting my Doctorate in Developmental Psychology and I love being a babysitter because I love getting to know children, spending time with them, and watching them grow and flourish at every age. I have worked with children for twenty years, starting when I was in middle school as a babysitter and watching my younger siblings everyday. I began watching children professionally in my twenties and I have continued into my thirties. I am studying the different developmental stages and how each stage has different milestones and every child learns at their own pace. It is my goal to get to know your child, make them feel comfortable, loved, and supported when their primary caregivers are away. I am CPR and First Aid certified, I have a clean driving record, and I am comfortable with pets. I was a life guard in my late twenties and am great at helping children swim and learn water safety. I can do light housekeeping, light meal preparations, transportation, and homework. I would love the opportunity to join you in helping your child grow, learn, and become the best version of themselves!
