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’m a super sweet, patient, and family-oriented college student who genuinely enjoys being around kids. I’m the kind of person who likes creating a warm, safe, and fun environment, whether that means helping with homework, playing games, or just being someone the kids feel comfortable with. I love building real connections with the families I work with and being someone they can depend on.I love babysitting because kids just have this natural way of making everything feel lighter and more fun. I enjoy watching them learn, grow, and just be themselves. It makes me happy knowing I can help parents feel at ease while I take care of their little ones. Plus, I honestly just enjoy being part of their day and creating moments they get excited about.I’ve babysat for a mix of family, neighbors, and friends over the years, with kids of different ages. I’ve helped with homework, bedtime routines, meals, pick-ups/drop-offs, and just everyday kid chaos. I’m used to being around younger siblings/cousins, so taking care of little ones feels natural to me.I’m responsible, patient, and good at keeping kids entertained while also setting boundaries when needed. I stay calm under pressure and I’m good with routines and multitasking. I’m also comfortable helping with light cleaning, homework, and organizing. If needed, I can also get CPR/first aid certified or provide references.

While going to high school, I decided to go to a community college and completed and became certified in Early Childhood Education. Not only am I certified in Florida, but all of the United States. In the course, I took care of children from 2-4 years old. I was also a full-time nanny for a family of 6 in Ave Maria for less than a year. I don’t mind running errands, doing light housekeeping, or the child’s laundry.

I used to take care of a 6 month old and a 6 year old when I was in college. I also take care of children during Sunday school. I am now working full time as a quality inspector. I am looking for an evening shift and I think being a sitter would be a great option. I had my CPR license but have yet to renew it for this upcoming year.
