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 stay at home mom to my 15 month old son. I am looking for periodical work to keep busy and to get out of the house a bit! Because I care for my son full time, he would be joining me in any job I take. He is kind, curious, and a bit shy. I am known by my peers to be friendly, reliable, and compassionate. I am certified in Pediatric CPR and First Aid and I have experience in a daycare/preschool setting. I also have a safe, reliable vehicle. I have worked with children of all ages and pets, too. I am well versed in pets of all kinds and have a small zoo at home. I would love to meet/chat to see if I would be a good fit for your family.
