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’m a nanny looking for extra part-time work to help make ends meet. If you’re looking for after school care or a date night sitter, I’d love to help! I’m interactive, gentle but structured. I can prepare meals, do light housecleaning, read, color, play games, help with homework, whatever would be needed.

I have taken care children as long as I can remember. Whether that be babysitting for the neighbors, doing overnights while parents traveled, or nannying for a family full time. Before moving to Tennessee I nannied for a family of two girls starting when they were 3 months and 1.5 years old and had been with them for 5 years. My most recent job in TN was with a 5-year-old girl and a 1-year-old boy. I have a son who is 5 years old that I have been blessed to bring with me nannying since he was born. I have learned over the years that every child is different and so being able to understand how each individual child will respond and learn best is very important. I have a lot of childcare experience but I also have experience in retail management, along with a BA in psychology (emphasis in child development) from Arizona state university. I am looking for a long term family to join. One that my son and I will be able to grow with over the years to come :).
