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 Rose, and I would love the opportunity to speak with you to see if I would be a good fit for your family’s needs as a nanny. I realize that choosing the right nanny is a very important decision because you need to feel confident that you are entrusting your children’s care to the right person. I believe that I not only offer valuable experience with caring for children, I also offer trustworthiness and dependability. I’m not your typical candidate as I am 49, and my main experience comes from all the years I spent as a stay-at-home mom for my three children who are now young adults:) I love being a mom! I loved being there for my kids. I believe the greatest value I bring to being a nanny is all that I learned from raising my kids! In addition to caring for my own children, I have also worked in the nursery at church over the years as well as taught Sunday school to toddlers. This past fall, I cared for my best friend’s three young children for two months. I did simple meal prep, play outings, assisted with dressing, bath time and bedtime, took them to and from school, helped with schoolwork, etc. I have cared for them for extended periods of time off and on since 2019–so I’ve seen them through infant through toddler and older stages;) I even potty trained the youngest! Currently, I have been nannying through nannying apps, and it has gone very well! I truly want to go where I can help the most for my next position. Being a nanny isn’t just a job for me. As a Christian, it’s a way for me to help others and bring glory to God:) I believe I am very responsible, self-motivated, and trustworthy. I don’t smoke. I have reliable transportation. I am CPR certified. I have a college degree, and I am comfortable with pets. I enjoy light housekeeping! Thank you for your consideration!

Hi i’m Bianka, I'm caring energetic and i have a passion for kids especially my nieces! Being part of a large family has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and fun. As far as experience i have 1 year behind me. I’m currently in college, pursuing a career as a medical assistant. When I'm not studying or spending time with family, I enjoy staying active through going to the gym or taking my cats out.
