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! Im Krissy Wilgar! Im interested in your nanny position. I have been a nanny on and off for about 5 years now. When I was 16-18 years old (in high school), I was a nanny for a family with five kids. Two sets of twins and a baby. I have since picked up small jobs but am wanting more of a nanny position. After high school, I moved to Provo with my husband (now) while he plays football for BYU and attends school. During my time here I've been a Medical Assistant and Coordinator for a Residential Treatment Center in Heber. I was over 25-28 boys everyday. I took care of all their medical needs. Administering medications, calling in Rx, bringing them to appointments, worked one on one with the Psychiatrist while taking care of the boys and their records. I love babies, toddlers, teens, you name it! I have a big soft spot in my heart for kids. They are so pure. I hope we are able to meet :) Look forward to hearing from you Krissy
