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.

My name is Kiara, I am a 26 year old graduate of Wetumpka High School Year 2017 and at age 14 I fell in love with babysitting kids and helping families. I admire how free spirited kids are. How they are looking to explore, learn, and experiment.... We share similar characteristics. I enjoy traveling, learning new things, and just having a silly goofy time with kids and families. I love to implement learning, while some kids never realize they are. My resume is quite long beings I have been in the business quite some time. I’ve helped in the Children’s Church sessions of my church, have babysitted for multiple families, some I have met on here and others in person, or referred by past families I’ve sitted for. I do have reliable transportation and do not mind pets. I am a Follower of Jesus Christ (Christian) and have been a dancer since I was 8. I would be willing to teach a child if they desire to learn or just for fun. I also provide light laundry, light housekeeping, and prepare light meals for families if needed. (Please see my Nanny Profile for more information and rates) I am available for part time sitting on as needed bases as of now but would be willing to discuss reoccurring sitting after work hours. I am also available for family tag alongs, errands, and/or out home sittings (taking kids to fun places, dinner etc). I pray this information was helpful! Please contact me if you have any questions or looking for a babysitter like me! Love, Kiara **Rates may very

Hi, I am an elementary education student, so I would love to babysit your kids for experience before I become a teacher. I love doing crafts and playing outside, and would keep your child off tech as much as possible. Thank you!

While I'm generally new to official childcare (4 months), I've had plenty of on and off experience babysitting for family members and I can say that I'm very confident in my abilities to keep your kiddos happy and safe, I've always been told that I am good with kids and I really do enjoy it! As chaotic as it can be, there are many good moments that make it worth it. I know how to cook, clean, entertain, and administer basic first aid. I'm also happy to take care of pets as well! I'm happy to have a flexible schedule to meet your family's needs.

I’ve currently been in the medical field for about 2 years now and I’ve decided to further my education by getting my bachelors degree in nursing. So I am looking for a flexible but rewarding job. I have 2 little brothers and have always enjoyed being around children. I hope to help children grow and learn!
