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.

Hi, im 28 with 3 boys who I love and adore more than anything in this world. I have been babysitting children from ages Infant to Toddler since I was the age of 12. My past work history has always been either babysitting and being a caregiver as a cna or hha and love doing what I do best is taking care of others. I love doing activities and learning with the kids that fit the right ages and getting them ahead of things and preparing them for school when the time comes! I always make sure i go above and beyond when watching others kids and make sure they are okay and comfortable as I know sometimes it can be scary. I am a mom so i know how it is as a parent. I have a couple current kids I am watching full time in my home and have some spots left open and plenty of references as well! I look forward from hearing from each and every one of you. Thank you!
