Q: What’s the difference between a nanny and a babysitter?

Nannies and babysitters share the same primary responsibility of providing safe and enriching care for your child, but there are a few differences between them. Nannies 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. Babysitters, on the other hand, are typically hired for irregular or occasional work, either full or part-time. If you’re looking for last-minute care for date night, or the occasional few hours after school, a babysitter is a great best option. 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.

Heather….what can I say? Best sitter we’ve ever had from SitterCity….wait, no, best sitter ever?! YES: most definitely. Besides my mother, who is kin, Heather was truly the dream experience we hoped for on our trip to Maui, HI. We were working anywhere from 3 to 8 hrs. a day - we had multiple locations we needed help with along the island, based in Kīhei, but then Makawao and also Wailuku. She was not based exactly in these areas, which meant extra travel for her with a very reasonable fee, but she was spectacular - six stars are in order. Never came late, was flexible with end times (but don’t abuse that, and be kind because she is very worth it). Was cool with our kid while also being positive about making sure that he didn’t disrespect her and creating limits - that only comes with experience. I can’t say enough, but I will also add, our son came with a recent health condition (spider bite) that got way out of hand infected on the plane and she was totally professional and did not balk for a minute in helping us with his health needs - cool as a cucumber and yet really attentive to our instructions of what needed to be done (shout out to Minit Medical Urgent Care in Kihei too, just in case). Not only did she engage with our kid in beautiful ways while at our home base, she managed to keep him engaged and attentive on site at the concerts we played in (we’re musicians). She’s a pro, and a wonderful person; hire her now!

Aloha! My name is Aureana Ebana, and I am excited to share that I will be attending BYU as I work toward my goal of becoming a pediatric traveling nurse. I have a deep passion for working with children, which is why I am often the one to take a crying baby out of sacrament meetings to help comfort them. Since 2022, I have had the privilege of babysitting children aged 1-7, and I truly enjoy creating a fun, safe environment for them. I prioritize activities like arts and crafts, outdoor play, and storytime to engage children in ways that support their growth and creativity. I also know how important routines are for children, so I make sure to follow mealtime, nap, and bedtime schedules to help them feel secure and cared for. Additionally, I am food safety certified, ensuring that the meals I prepare are safe and healthy for your child. I have also had the opportunity to work with children with special needs, which has taught me how to adapt my caregiving to meet each child’s individual needs. I am committed to providing dependable and loving care, and I would be honored to care for your family. Mahalo for considering me!

Hi! My name is Soph, and I’m about to graduate high school. I really enjoy being around kids and creating a fun, safe, and positive environment whether that’s helping with homework, playing games, or just keeping them engaged and comfortable. While I’m newer to babysitting, I’ve spent time around children and also job shadowed in pediatrics, which helped me build patience, attentiveness, and a caring approach. I’m responsible and dependable, and I take safety and communication seriously. I also have experience working in a fast-paced environment, so I’m good at staying organized and handling responsibilities. I’m happy to help with meals, light cleaning, and I’m very comfortable around pets as well. I’m excited to learn, help out, and be someone your family can count on!
