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- my name is skylar I am going to be a freshman at UWGB- manitowoc campus in September. I have a highschool diploma and I am 18 years old with over 2 years of experience with little ones! I have over two years of hands-on experience working with children, during which I have developed a genuine passion for caring for babies and toddlers (anywhere from newborn to 2). I find joy in nurturing their growth and ensuring their comfort and safety. In high school I did take an early childhood education class that got me a lot of the certifications I have needed! I am also CPR/First Aid certified! Additionally, I am comfortable around dogs and enjoy their company, which makes me adaptable to family environments with pets. Beyond childcare, I am more than willing to assist with household tasks such as cleaning and cooking, helping to maintain a warm, organized, and welcoming home atmosphere. My dedication to both the children and the household ensures a supportive and caring environment for everyone involved! Thank you!
