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 going to be a Junior in college! I have worked with kids for most of my teen and adult life. I love watching kids grow and start to learn about themselves. I am a nursing major, so with that it is in my blood to be a caregiver. I have my own car, I am hardworking, patient, and a great role model. Hopefully I get to meet your kids or Kiddos soon !!

I have been a babysitter since I was about 15. I went to highschool at a tech prep school and my lab was in child development. I also worked as a swim instructor for children so I am both CPR and first aid certified. I have my bachelors in psychology and just recently finished my masters degree in developmental disabilities with a concentration in child life. My goals are to become a child life specialist in a children's hospital.

⸻ I love working with children and helping them feel safe, inspired, and cared for. I have professional experience as an art teacher, which has taught me how to engage kids creatively and support their emotional and developmental needs. I’ve worked with children of different ages and always aim to create a calm, respectful, and joyful environment. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids — whether it’s reading, playing, or doing crafts together.

I love kids! They are so sweet and bubbly and they are so much fun to be around. I love pets as well! I have 3 doggies at home! I have taken care of kids from toddlers to middle schoolers. So I would say I’m pretty aware of the risks associated with different age ranges I am CPR certified! I have never baby sat for infants other than family so I am not extremely comfortable with babies although they are the cutest things on the earth!
