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 helps parents a lot and makes me feel better because I love to help. I recently stoped working at the library because I have came to NSU college. I worked with kid programs during my 2 years at the library. I have a sister that is 6 years younger than me and I was always her babysitter when my parents needed. I’ve baby sat family and family friends kids. I am available Monday through Friday from 1-8. I am CPR certified and First Aid certified. I also love pets and will babysit them as well. I’m very calm and love interacting with kids and pets.

Hello! My name is Alyssa and I'm so excited to begin this journey with you and your family! Let me start off by telling you a little about myself. I’m 31 y/o and I live in Kansas, Oklahoma with my boyfriend, Toby. We just welcomed our first child, Liam, who is now 2 months old! I moved to the Oklahoma/Arkansas area around 2 years ago from Denver, CO. I’m originally from central Missouri, where I attended two years of college at UCM with a full ride scholarship in nursing. I eventually found that my heart wasn't fully in that career field. Since then, I've been in the sales/customer service industry and occasionally nanny or housekeep for families as needed. Now that I have a little one of my own, I’d love to stay home with him and focus on taking care of other little ones in the process! :) I really do love children of all ages! And pets! I think exercise is super important and I enjoy being outside, whether it be riding bikes, going for walks, going to a dog park, or splashing in a pool! :) I love cooking and experimenting with making new, healthy meals. Childcare, cleaning, running errands, walking dogs, help with homework... I have experience in every category and I enjoy it all! -References available upon request. -Was certified in basic CPR and Life Support for infants, children, and adults in the past. I can absolutely get those renewed at the request of parents. -2+ years of nursing experience, including hands on training in a hospital birthing unit. -Obtained CNA license, but has not been renewed Please reach out if you think I would be a good match for your family! I look forward to hearing from you!
