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! My name is Trinity, and I have several years of babysitting experience. I’ve been caring for two boys on and off for the past three years as they’ve grown older, and I also spend a lot of time hanging with my younger sister and four little nieces. I really enjoy being around kids and love creating fun, safe, and engaging activities for them. I have a leadership certification that I earned in Nevada, which has helped me build strong communication and problem-solving skills—great for managing busy days with little ones! I especially enjoy spending time outside in the sun, swimming, and doing arts and crafts, and I love sharing those interests with the kids I care for.

One of my favorite parts about working with kids is seeing how creative they are. I also love being able to help them learn and grow, whether it's problem-solving with Legos or assisting them with homework. Working with kids, no matter the age, is very rewarding, and being able to be part of that is very special. Previously, I have been a gymnastics coach, coaching virtually all ages, and have assisted in creating summer camps with a variety of activities. I also have a clean driving record, alongside being BLS certified through the American Heart Association, and have assisted in different levels of medical emergencies before.
