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 there! I'm Jen. As a mom of two and wife, I am experienced with children. I'm what you would call the jack off all trades I guess because I also have other experiences and skills that would be great to help make your life a bit easier. I served 6 years in the healthcare field as a CNA in long term care and as a patient care tech in Dialysis. I am CPR and first aid trained. Before working in healthcare, I cooked professionally for a couple years fresh out of high school, and I do the cooking in my household (and most of the cleaning lol) I hope I can use my skills and knowledge and help make your lie a bit easier. I look forward to hopefully meeting you.
