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.

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them.

I do have previous experience as a foster care case worker as well. I have a daughter who will be two next month and is learning/growing everyday. She loves crafting activities! And an easy going newborn son! I am looking to nanny one child in my home part time. My home is always clean, baby/toddler proof, and we have lots of toys along with a playroom basement! Currently the family I nanny for does Tuesday/Thursday weekly at their house but my time with them will be completed around mid April so I can do MWF or after that any days M-F I will be free!

I have 8 years of babysitting experience and 6 years of paid experience. I have knowledge about all areas and ages, and I am skilled at finding things to do with the children that we both can enjoy. I can follow set schedules, teach them how to develop and grow skills of their own, and even do household tasks. Growing up and taking care of those younger than me has always brought me joy. It is the main reason why I am going to school to be on track to become a pediatric nurse.
