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.

Hello, my name is Heather. I am 42 years old, a mother of three and love caring for children, as I have been doing for many years. I am a loving and caring person, as I treat the child as my own. I like the child and parent(s) to meet me first so they can get comfortable with me and my family. I am pretty flexible with babysitting hours. I do have a car and a clean driving record. I would prefer to babysit in my home with the child dropped off and picked up, but I am open to the possibility of being in your home. I do like to be paid up front, depending on your pay period. Payment can be negotiated. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have references available. Please contact me for more information.

Hi there! 🙂 I’m new to the Morgantown area and looking for a weekend babysitting position. I work full-time but would be available every weekend. I have 6+ years of experience as a babysitter with children aging from 2 to 11 years old. It doesn’t have to be a regular position, I’m open to working as needed (date nights, weekend trips, Mom and Dad just need a break sort of thing lol). I can do light housekeeping, I cook, and I’m also willing to babysit in your home or at mine, whichever suits you best. So if you ever need someone to watch the kids over the weekend, hit me up!
