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.

I am a very energetic and social person, which makes it easy to love working with kids of all ages! I have spent my whole life around kids as I am the oldest of 6 siblings, which helps me adapt to the day-to-day changes with kids. Additionally, I worked for a soccer program before college, where I coached toddler-aged players. I also, in Nebraska I currently, work at a before and after-school program that also has a separate preschool program, where I spend most of my time as a teacher's aide.

Hi, I’m Amanda! I have 15+ years of experience working with children of all ages, from newborn to preteen. Most of my experience is babysitting, but I have also spent time working as an elementary school teacher aid. I absolutely love being a part of their world—whether we’re building forts, getting creative with arts and crafts, or diving into story time. I am offering childcare, pet-sitting (cats, dogs-big or small), housekeeping, and house-sitting. I’m reliable, energetic, and calm under pressure; however, I can often come across shy and uninterested upon first impression. Trust me, that is actually the opposite of who I really am! I am CPR certified with some first aid training. Fun fact: I love math and playing any and all sports!! Happy to help tutor or train the kiddos anyway I can. Open to rearranging my schedule if needed. I am going to Japan October 27th- November 14th, during which time I will obviously be unavailable. I would be happy to resume caring for your child/children upon my return.
