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 have experience of babysitting my 1 year old nephew from the time he was a newborn to now. I also have experience picking up kids from school, taking them home or to do activities. I love being a sitter because it gives parents time to themselves for whatever needs to be done. I love doing fun activities, going to the park, coloring, anything the kids want to do. I am cpr certified and know basic first aid things. I will be studying to be a nurse in the Fall.

Hi! My name is Kaylee, and I am looking into babysitting part time. I currently work full time during the beginning of the week, and have availability Fridays and Saturdays. I truly enjoy working with children and creating a warm, supportive environment where they feel safe and happy. I have experience with kids ages 3–11 in both school and clinic settings, and I previously worked as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), supporting children with autism. Through this, I helped children build coping skills, manage big emotions, help create structure and routine, and strengthen social skills. I am CPR certified. I am skilled in diaper changing, potty training, homework help, and engaging in various activities your child may be interested in. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping to make things a little easier for your family. My goal is to create a kind, patient, and positive space where your child feels understood, supported, and free to be themselves.
