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, My name is Devon and I have been babysitting for about 12 years. I have taken care of my nephew from baby up to age 3 and have helped potty train him as well! I love kids of all ages. I can work with pets, but I am scared of big dogs. I love to cook! I am willing to clean, do laundry, do dishes, etc. I do not own a car, but I use my fiancée’s car when she is either home or at work. Only thing is I am a substitute teacher so I won’t be able to be all the time on a mon-fri as I have to meet my requirements of 4 shifts a month. I am pretty easy to get along with and I’m willing to take whatever pay you can afford or work with. I am usually very energetic and positive, but I can also be shy and timid at first until I get comfortable in my environment or used to the people around me. I tend to be very goofy and outgoing especially around kids, but I know when to be serious and be mature.

Hello, my name is Laura, and I am a dedicated childcare professional with a strong background in early childhood education. I have completed three years of Elementary Education studies at Lynn University in Florida and am currently taking a semester off after relocating to Lawton for family reasons. With a passion for working with children, I have extensive hands-on experience in childcare and education. I spent a year as a preschool teacher, leading a class of 10 3-year-olds, where I created engaging lesson plans and provided a nurturing learning environment. Additionally, I have been babysitting since I was 16, caring for children of all ages, including infants as young as 3 months old and their older siblings. Fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, I also have experience tutoring children in both English and Spanish. My goal as a nanny is to be a positive influence creating a safe, fun, and educational environment where children thrive. I am CPR and First Aid certified.
