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 everyone, my name is Jessyka Gerritsen, I am 17 years old and would love the chance to work for you. I absolutely love working with kids and babysitting has always seemed like the perfect job for me. I am a senior in high school and just moved to Sparks, Nevada from Eugene, Oregon over the summer. I have recently gotten my GED and plan on attending a couple of online college classes in the Fall. So, I am a very flexible, reliable, trustworthy person and work hard at everything I do. I also take my job as a babysitter/nanny very seriously. I do have some babysitting/nanny experience and take my job very seriously. I worked for a single mother and her 4-year-old daughter as a live-in nanny for a little less than a year before I had to move and loved doing it. I then worked for a single mom and her family babysitting her 10-year-old daughter about 3 times a week for a little over a year. (Please contact me for their information). I absolutely love to be able to help families out while also being able to watch children grow, learn, be active, and most importantly, have fun. I don't have too much experience with babies, besides when I would do occasional babysitting for my neighbor and her 2-year-old son and 6-month-old daughter but didn't have any problems with it. I am also a very fast learner. I try my very hardest to be extra creative and keep the kids I am responsible for entertained and happy as possible. I am also very comfortable with pets I have 3 dogs and a cat myself. Please contact me if you're interested in having me come work for you and your child/kids. I'm available any hours and days of the week! Thanks!

Hi! I’m Chalyn, I love being able to help kids with any homework needing to be done, being able to watch kids when a parent needs a break or has a job, or just to be a person that can help out in anyway with someone’s kids! I love Disney, so I have a great imagination when it comes to that. I have had multiple experiences with many different age groups to know what needs to be done. If you ever need a sitter, I’m available anytime!!
