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’m a senior in Highschool and have a strong passion for taking care of children. I’ve had in school CPR training as well as experience with childcare in a child development course. I take online college courses through Kent State University, so I leave school at 10:45 in the morning. My schedule makes me very flexible. I recently got my license, so I am currently not completely comfortable driving with children but as time goes on and I gain experience I will be. I am skilled at cooking, cleaning, laundry, tutoring etc. My family is full of children and over the years I have gained experience with taking care of them. I am very punctual and sociable, and am susceptible to instruction and rules. If you are interested please send me a message/ request a meeting! (either in person or call!).
