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.

Hello, my is Sheletha Davis. I've been babysitting for five years. I care for two familes whenever they need me. They consits of five boys and two girls from the ages of 3 to 12 years old. I don't have any kids of my own, but I enjoy being around kids because it offers them somebody to talk to and encourage them to be better people in life. The things I do with the kids, after they do their homework, are swimming, fishing, hiking, walking, reading, playing games, watching movies, and going to the park just to name a few.

I have my bachelors degree in Early Child Development as well as being CPR/First Aid certified and I am also SIDS certified. I am available Monday-Fridays but unfortunately I can not do weekends due to me playing flag football and being a dance instructor. Working with children is my passion and I love watching them grow and knowing I’m a reason on why they’re growing! I have worked with all age groups starting with infants to school age. I am very caring, loving, patient, and passionate about everything that I do!
