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.

Myka is great with our toddler. She plays with him, calms him when he's upset, and he listens to her very well. We have really enjoyed working with her.

Hello! I’m Brady, a physical education teacher that works with students 3k through 8th grade. I have a passion for working with kids and with a 4 year old at home, I am looking for flexible opportunities to make some money throughout Summer. It is a benefit if my child can tag along, but I can make it work if that is not the case.

Hi, I'm Ali! I'm from WI, but I moved to AZ to go to GCU, where I studied Spanish and psychology. I studied abroad in Spain and now run a business, AM Golden Waves. Growing up, I watched my cousins and family friends before doing more babysitting in high school and then college! I have experience with all different ages, from infants to high schoolers and have booked 50+ jobs on Busy Bees, along with ongoing babysitting for multiple families. I am also CPR certified! I'd describe my personality as creative, calming, and patient. I like working with kids because their minds are so full of fun ideas and they're so joyful. I'm looking to be able to connect with the kids, while learning and playing together in an energetic, but still safe way! My skills include conflict resolution, creative play, and emotional support and regulation. In my spare time, I hand sew shirts and paint Bibles for my business! I also enjoy going to the beach, trying new coffee shops, and thrifting.

Hello! My name is Adelyne Buchholz, or Addy for short! I am 24 years old and in school for Medical Coding. It's been so fun but I'd love to add some extra fun into my life by babysitting or nannying your kids! I come from a large family so I am familiar with kids of all ages, besides that I've worked at a summer camp in 2022 and 2023, and I've been working in daycare off and on this past school year! I am a cheerful, responsible, and highly attentive person (so if your child likes to talk, I would most definitely love to listen!) Something super important to me when with kids and, honestly, anyone, is that they feel valued, seen, and important to me. My goal would be to leave at the end of the day with their needs are met, the silly (and not so silly) questions answered to the best of my ability, and that they had the most fun possible. **I am happy to run a background check through SitterCity, however I have had background checks done with the state of Wisconsin as a Caregiver that can provide more certainty I believe**
