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.

Heyy My name is JohnNyah Nelson. Im a respectful young lady and I do what I think is best as long as I get consent with the parents….I’ve got experience with almost all ages of children, from newborns to 12 years olds… I can help with some subjects of homework but I ain’t the best. Growing up I always watched my younger cousins and siblings and my older siblings children. Children are and can be very joyful and very divergent.Hopefully this can be a very nice and settling job I can have so I can not only help myself but parents who need a little hand..Feel free to contact me….
