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 Emma, and I’m an almost 19-year old online college student looking to begin nannying full-time! I’ve always enjoyed caring for and being around children, but have never fully gone for it. I find that I work better in a one-on-one setting, rather than a group setting, such as a daycare. I prefer working with younger children, but have experience in all ages! I’ve been a lifeguard for 4-16 year olds in swim lessons and swim team, so I’m lifeguard, first aid, and CPR certified. I’m also comfortable with driving children and have experience with that. I have one in-person college class on Tuesday and Thursdays mornings from 9:30-10:50, but other than that, I’m flexible. Thank you for reading, and I hope you’ll consider me to become a part of your family!
