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.

I love being a sitter because I grew up around young kids all my life. I am currently in college as a nursing major in Honolulu. I have experience in healthcare as a caregiver for the older population. Though not paid experience I have a younger sister which I gained experience taking care of her from a baby to now as she’s a first grader. Being involved in community service allowed me to gain experience with a wide range of kid ages such as elementary school kids and even teenagers.I also have CPR, First Aid, and Seizure certification.

Hi, my name is Maya, I’m originally from Germany and moved to Maui in 2023. I live with my husband and my stepson (10 years old) in Waihee. I got my state-certified educator degree and my Bachelor in social work in Germany and I worked in a preschool (kids age 2-6) for over 6 years. I grew up in a big family (5 siblings and lots of cousins) what lead me to my job as a preschool teacher. I have lots of experience with kids different ages and love supporting and attending them to become an independent and confident person. I’m patent and calm but also energetic and adventurous. I communicate boundaries and rules (personal/safety/..) but focus on giving the kids as much opportunities to explore their world as possible. I’m looking forward to meet you! Maya🦋

Aloha! My name is Aureana Ebana, and I am excited to share that I will be attending BYU as I work toward my goal of becoming a pediatric traveling nurse. I have a deep passion for working with children, which is why I am often the one to take a crying baby out of sacrament meetings to help comfort them. Since 2022, I have had the privilege of babysitting children aged 1-7, and I truly enjoy creating a fun, safe environment for them. I prioritize activities like arts and crafts, outdoor play, and storytime to engage children in ways that support their growth and creativity. I also know how important routines are for children, so I make sure to follow mealtime, nap, and bedtime schedules to help them feel secure and cared for. Additionally, I am food safety certified, ensuring that the meals I prepare are safe and healthy for your child. I have also had the opportunity to work with children with special needs, which has taught me how to adapt my caregiving to meet each child’s individual needs. I am committed to providing dependable and loving care, and I would be honored to care for your family. Mahalo for considering me!

I've worked with kids with autism for 2. 5 years, and over the summer I was a nanny for my boss's twin 1-year-olds and 4-year-old. I have experience caring for kids ages 1-16. I'm TB tested & CPR certified, and have reliable transportation. I'd love to find out if I'm a good fit for your family!
