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.

Hi! I'm a nursing student and CPR-certified caregiver with 9+ years of hands-on childcare experience. I currently care for three children (ages 2,5, and 9) and have been their primary caregiver since they were infants, so I'm very comfortable with all ages and routines. I have experience with infant care (bottles, diaper changes, soothing, naps), as well as keeping older kids engaged with homework, activities, and play. I'm used to managing multiple children at once and keeping things calm, structured, and fun. I also have experience supporting a child with autism, including working with routines and selective eating. I truly enjoy working with kids and creating a safe, positive environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. I'm responsible, patient, and easy to communicate with. I'm looking for summer babysitting while on break from college and have a very flexible schedule! Rates vary depending on care needs.

I grew up helping my grandma watch her daycare kids. I started watching my younger brothers and younger cousins when I was very young myself, I would watch them all during summer breaks, plus evenings or weekends when my family needed a break. I had my first real(non family related) babysitting job at age 11. I nannyed for 7 years then In 2020 I started childcare out of my home. I'm now searching for a nanny job again! I have experience with multiple children at a time. I took early childhood development courses in HS where I learned about developmental milestones from birth to age 5. I can provide you with multiple great references. I am a non smoker who is infant/child CPR and first aid certified with a clean background. I love to teach ASL to the kids! I love to interact, play, teach, and stay active with the kiddos. I love pets! The most important part about being a sitter/nanny to me is making sure the kids are safe, happy, and cared for while in my presence
