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'm a college student majoring in Forensic Science with a love for working with kids. While I don't have professional experience yet, I've spent years with my siblings and cousins and genuinely enjoy helping children learn, have fun, and feel safe. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, great with cooking/meal prep, keeping things clean and organized, and I have my own reliable transportation so school pick ups, activities, and errands are never a problem. I love being outside, going on adventures, and I'm known for being patient and helping kids work through their big emotions. My schedule is completely open right now, and I'd love to find a family I can grow with!

I love being a sitter because I enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and caring environment. It’s rewarding to build positive relationships with children and their families while making a difference in their daily lives. I enjoy seeing kids smile, learn new things, and feel comfortable and supported. I have had children ages 3 months up to 12 years of age in my care. I have also worked in public schooling systems as a children’s health assistant, helping kids 4 years of age to 18 with intellectual disabilities. I have my CNA license, CPR certification and also CBRF which means I’m certified to give medication as well.

I have been babysitting in my church since I was 14. I started babysitting full time as I go to college. I am looking flexible job that I can do and also go to school. I have not scheduled any classes for next semester, but I am pretty positive of what classes I would like to take, and we can talk about hours and options that would work for you. I am going to college at NWTC in Green Bay, WI for Graphic Design and Photography. I have always loved children, but I would not like to work with them for the rest of my life, so I am pursuing another career where I could still work with children in some photography jobs.
