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.

Hey everyone! I have been babysitting and nannying for as long as I can remember, I love kids. I have worked with newborns up to 14 years old, so I am very comfortable with all ages. I graduated from Florida State University in December with my Master of Science in Criminology. I have taught swimming and diving lessons so I am comfortable with kids doing all outdoor activities. Depending on the child’s age I like to read books, go outside, and play enriching games. I am a very interactive babysitter! I am vaccinated and I attend church regularly, so if that is something you are looking for, I offer that! I also have reliable transportation and a clean driving record! I can't wait to meet you and your little ones!
