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.

I’ve been babysitting since age 13 and now I work full-time with kiddos as a childcare teacher at the CP Center! Because the CP Center is inclusive, I’ve worked with children with ranging special needs from infancy to 5 years old. I’ve worked in all our childcare rooms from children 3 months to 7 years old. I love working with kids and seeing their different personalities and what interests them! I’m CPR and first aid certified, as well as background checked and fingerprinted by the state because I work in a daycare. I’m available weeknights except for Wednesdays and Thursdays and I have availability on the weekends.

I love being around kids, in lighter terms they definitely keep you youthful! I have been working with kids for as long as I can remember. From helping with summer school classes, to lifeguarding, to babysitting, to working kids days for the Green Bay Rockers baseball team. I have always had jobs that are connected to children and I love being able to connect with them on different levels. When I was in elementary school I took the Red Cross Babysitting training course, I am also First Aid and CPR trained. I still work with kids now being the on field host for the Rockers, so I am around them almost everyday.
