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, has your position been filled yet? I’m looking for family to add to my nanny/sitter schedule. I’m a nurturing, attentive, an outgoing caregiver. I love baking, doing crafts , and anything else hands on! When I’m not caregiving I’m helping others around the world because I have an online business, I love expressing myself through colors and countless other things. I think it’s extremely important to bond with the children you nanny or babysit so they can feel as comfortable as possible. I have been a caregiver for years with family, clients and friends. I have a ton of experience with newborns, toddlers, special needs children, older children, and caring for up to four children at a time and a set of twins. I look forward to hearing back from you to discuss more to see if I’d be a good fit for you and your family. I am willing to meal prep dinner/ lunch, cook, do chores around the house , get the kid(s) ready, promote independence and confidence, be hands on, teach the littles anything that they need to be IE ; potty training, help build motor skills, help with learning/ practicing and reading, etc as I plan going to school for early childhood education.
