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.

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 am currently a senior in college pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education. I have CPR and First Aid certifications and hold both FBI and BCI background checks. My goal is to create a loving, safe, and engaging environment for every child in my care. I have experience working in daycare settings as well as in elementary school classrooms, and I am passionate about supporting children’s growth, development, and learning. I strive to be a positive role model and am well-versed in developmentally appropriate practices for children of all age groups. I have particularly strong experience with toddlers and school-age children. In addition to childcare, I am able to assist with meal preparation, light cleaning, pet care, and other household needs. I understand that life as a parent can be busy and overwhelming, and I look forward to providing dependable support wherever it is needed.

I've been babysitting for about 6 years for siblings/family and family friends but i would say i’ve recently done more in the last 3 years. I absolutely adore working with kids of all ages! I’m 18years old and I recently graduated and currently play travel softball, which has taught me a lot about teamwork, responsibility, and patience qualities I bring into every babysitting job. My softball coach brought a special 11 year old boy into my life that has down syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and celiac so over the years i’ve learned a lot. I'm available Monday through Thursday from 5 AM to 6 PM, and I'm happy to help with early mornings, daytime care, running errands, playtime, and more. Whether it's keeping your little ones entertained, helping with routines, or just being a reliable extra set of hands, I'm here to make your day a little easier.
