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 love being a sitter because it allows me to create a safe and nurturing environment for children. Watching them grow, learn, and develop their unique personalities is incredibly rewarding. I enjoy engaging with them through play and activities that stimulate their creativity and curiosity. "I have experience with babysitting children from all ages since I was 16, but started getting paid last year. During this time, I've had the opportunity to care for children of various ages, which has helped me understand their needs and how to handle different situations effectively."

What I love about being a being a baby sitter is spending time with the kids, making them happy, and having a genuine connection with them. An Important thing if having a connection with the kid is then being able to trust me and know they are safe, so we can have a fun time, and being able to model good behavior. I have younger siblings of my own, and it gets a little crazy sometimes but we always have fun. I have experience babysitting with my younger siblings, I have volunteered at the YMCA for babysitting, I have helped my sister babysit, I have also pet sitted. I have experience with working in the nursing home, and being a CNA. The skills I have include being CPR certified, First aid certified, Vital Signs certified, and Patient Safety certified. I have trained in the nursing home, and I know what I am doing with a schedule, and know how to take care of responsibilities, and safety for the kid.
