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.

Hello, here is a little about me: I have over 35 years of experience working with children. I have done everything from daycare, preschool. head start, working with special education, and public school. I have been employed by the Oshkosh Area School District for the past year. I have two adult children (Alyssa-36 who lives in Spain and Wyatt-25 who lives in Racine.) Growing up I had a brother Jeff who had Mucular Dystrophy. Jeff was where I got first hand experience working with Special Education even though I didn't look at Jeff like that. Jeff was everyone's responsibility to care for him in the house. I don't smoke or do drugs and can pass a back ground check. I am looking to care for your children this summer. Pay is negotiable. I live just outside of Winneconne and will travel. Thank for reading

My mom used to do in home daycare, and I would help her and that started when I was 11. When I was older I would go to their houses and watch the kids. I have pets, so pets are not a problem. I am going to be 20 in April. I have a reliable car. I would love it if you would consider me for babysitting. I love children.
