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.

Hello My name is Laura. I am a non smoking married mother of three adult daughters. I have over 15 years of child care/ household management experience. I am CPR Certified/ First-Aid Certified. (Letter of recommendation and references upon request) I believe being a nanny is more than meeting their physical needs and keeping them safe. I believe each and every child is full of potential and as a nanny I get the opportunity to come along side the parents to help the little ones grow and thrive in a loving , creative environment. I am looking for a full time rewarding position. But would consider part time daylight hours. I also am a pastry chef and enjoy preparing meals. Early mornings are not a problem. I have a clean driving record And a current background check. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely Laura Hurd

I've nannied for 12 years, several long term positions with busy doctor's families. I have an early childhood education background, have taught many children to read. Infants have become my specialty. Counting my own 5, my 4 years as an infant room teacher, and nannying, I have cared for nearly 100 infants! I'm single and my family is grown, so I can offer nearly 100% availability and flexibility to the right family. I'm agreeable to errands, laundry, and straightening up. I consider it part of my job to help free up your quality time with your little ones.
