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.

In 1988-1989, I completed a vocational program in child day care management. In 1990, I worked for 7 months as a temporary nanny for a child recovering from heart surgery. The job ended when the child was well enough to go back to day care. I have worked as a high school teacher for 15 years. I am also a mom. (Young empty-nester with no grandchildren. That is why I want to work as a nanny.)

I love working with children! I have four younger siblings and I have helped raise them since they were babies. I have also taught gymnastics to ages 3-16 for three years and been a part of VBS and helping at nursery at my church for 9 years. I can work with all ages and help manage a household on my own. My parents both had full time jobs growing up so I was the stay at home mom for our family, this taught me how to be responsible, patient and have good communication as well with the children and parents. I have been a babysitter for many people and I am willing to work with more than one child or pet. I have had multiple dogs in the past and love caring for them too. I can do anything from meal prep to running errands and caring for a sick child.
