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.

I love going on hikes, hanging out with family and enjoying life. I love children and want some children of my own some day. I grew up watching my 2 siblings and most of my cousins.

I can't wait to work with more kids as I grow with the school district. at the moment I work in the special education classroom but planning on getting my CDA next year and teaching in a typical classroom. I have an older sister that has severe MS as well so I have a lot of experience in special needs education. I also have a 6 year old nephew that I have babysit/nanny some days. I know CPR and am planning on getting trained on first aid! I am very responsible and hard working, also can be very energetic and playful with kiddos.
