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.

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.

Hi I'm Audrey! I'm a college student at Utah Tech and I love working with kids! I started babysitting when I was 11 and have cared for children of all ages, so I'm comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and family needs. I've taken an EMR class where I learned CPR and strengthened my situational awareness and my ability to handle situations responsibly. I'm more than happy to help with meals, homework, cleaning, bedtime, etc. I value clear communication with parents and always strive to be someone families can trust and rely on.

I am a freelance graphic designer with a very flexible schedule and a genuine love for being around kids. I bring creativity, love and kindness into everything I do, which naturally carries over into how I am as a babysitter. I’m a kind, patient, and dependable babysitter with 7 years of hands-on experience caring for children ages 0–4. I grew up in a big family and have been helping take care of my younger siblings and cousins since I was a teenager. I’ve always been nurturing, attentive, and calm in all situations. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I prioritize safety while making sure kids feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I’m originally from Miami, Florida, and recently moved here to be closer to family. I’d love the opportunity to care for your little ones and become someone you can trust and rely on.
