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 Rose, and I would love the opportunity to speak with you to see if I would be a good fit for your family’s needs as a nanny. I realize that choosing the right nanny is a very important decision because you need to feel confident that you are entrusting your children’s care to the right person. I believe that I not only offer valuable experience with caring for children, I also offer trustworthiness and dependability. I’m not your typical candidate as I am 49, and my main experience comes from all the years I spent as a stay-at-home mom for my three children who are now young adults:) I love being a mom! I loved being there for my kids. I believe the greatest value I bring to being a nanny is all that I learned from raising my kids! In addition to caring for my own children, I have also worked in the nursery at church over the years as well as taught Sunday school to toddlers. This past fall, I cared for my best friend’s three young children for two months. I did simple meal prep, play outings, assisted with dressing, bath time and bedtime, took them to and from school, helped with schoolwork, etc. I have cared for them for extended periods of time off and on since 2019–so I’ve seen them through infant through toddler and older stages;) I even potty trained the youngest! Currently, I have been nannying through nannying apps, and it has gone very well! I truly want to go where I can help the most for my next position. Being a nanny isn’t just a job for me. As a Christian, it’s a way for me to help others and bring glory to God:) I believe I am very responsible, self-motivated, and trustworthy. I don’t smoke. I have reliable transportation. I am CPR certified. I have a college degree, and I am comfortable with pets. I enjoy light housekeeping! Thank you for your consideration!

My name is Jazmine Morrison, and I am a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) with a deep passion for working with children. Over the past few years, I have gained valuable experience in various roles that have solidified my commitment to helping young minds grow and thrive. My journey began as a substitute teacher, where I had the opportunity to engage with students of different ages and backgrounds. This role allowed me to develop strong classroom management skills and adapt to diverse educational environments. Additionally, I have 3.5 years of babysitting experience, which has taught me patience, creativity, and the importance of creating a safe and nurturing environment for children. I am also CPR certified, ensuring that I am well-prepared to handle emergencies and provide the best care possible. My passion for working with kids is the driving force behind my career choices and educational goals. Currently, I am working towards completing my bachelor's degree in psychology, which will serve as a foundation for my ultimate career aspiration of becoming a mental health nurse practitioner. In the future, I aim to combine my love for children and my dedication to mental health to make a significant impact in the lives of young individuals. I believe that every child deserves the opportunity to flourish, and I am committed to providing the support and guidance they need to reach their full potential.
