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 am a mother of three adult children I began babysitting as a teenager and was responsible for a one year old little girl. I also volunteered in my church nursery keeping the babies and little ones of some of the members and the pastor. I am a certified childcare worker and have experience working in a childcare classroom as a lead and assistant teacher. I decided early that my love and respect for children would lead me to a career in childcare. I have a friendly personality, I'm considerate of others, cooperative, and a hard worker. I also have my CPR certificate. I am willing to work a weekend schedule since I have no little ones at home, and I will submit my references upon request.
