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.

Hello! My name is Sydney. I am 21 years old, but I have been watching kids for a while, and I just have so much fun. I have a lot of energy, and I believe that I can use it in a positive way by being an efficient babysitter/nanny. I have been watching kids for about 9 years now, and I have also worked with kids with developmental disabilities. I have been CPR and First Aid certified, but may have to renew my certifications soon.

I am a big sister to my 10 year old sister. My parents used the “built-in-babysitter” as much as they could. They were lucky that I love kids because I had the greatest time with her everyday. I am the one the family passes all the little cousins to, and I use the most of my creativity when I’m with them. I love crafts and finding ways to pass time.
