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.

I started babysitting when I was 12 as my first job and I just fell in love with it and have been doing it ever since! Working with kids has it’s challenges but I find the pros always outweigh the cons. I am I fun, active and patient person who loves to go with the flow. My hobbies include hiking, scrapbooking and exploring new places. I’m always down for an adventure! I have found that my personality and my passion for teaching children has helped me become a really great nanny. While I still am a nanny part time, I am looking to add some extra hours to my schedule if the right family thinks I might be a good fit.

I’m 22 years old! I’ve worked with kids almost all my teen life, and when I got out of high school worked in a daycare on and off for about 5 years! Working with kids always came easy to me so I’ve always just stayed working around children. I’ve worked in a school setting, working with kids with disabilities and behaviors for about a year. I love watching kids learn and grow, making fun memories and enjoying life. I think it’s important to create a safe environment and a trusting bond.
