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.

Hi! I have over 10 years experience with up to 4 children off all ages at a time. I enjoy being very attentive with children and doing activities with them such as going outside to be aside, reading, playing games, and arts and crafts together. I also have experience doing meal/snack prep minding any parents guidelines that are set in place regarding diet.

I recently started my Masters in Nursing so I have a pretty flexible schedule and I’m open to babysitting. I am located in the Fort Worth area and I have a reliable car! I have experience with babysitting as this is something I took up during my breaks in nursing school and I worked with different age groups particularly newborns and toddlers. I am also CPR certified and comfortable with pets!I can do light house work, meal prep, help with potty training and developmental milestones! I’m open to meeting up and discussing if we are a match for each other!
