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.

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and being a calm, positive presence in their day. I find it really rewarding to help children feel safe, supported, and engaged, whether that’s through play, routines, or quiet moments. I’ve been caring for children since I was 14, including babysitting for family and neighbors, working with preschoolers and school-age kids through church programs, camps, and cheer activities, and providing care for children of different ages. I’m comfortable with infants, toddlers, and older children. I’m currently in college with certification in health science and sports medicine from Tulsa Tech and have prior experience working in healthcare. I’m CPR, First Aid, and BLS certified, a non-smoker, and have reliable transportation. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I focus on creating a safe, nurturing environment for every child.
