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’m 25 years old and live in Hinesburg Vermont. I was working in independent living nursing homes, so I have a lot of experience and care. I’ve been working on Care.com on the app for a while now and it’s been going really well for me. I do watch a two-year-old weekly and I am on call babysitter, but I was hoping to find something full-time or even something to fill up my week! I do have my own transportation, and I’m willing to travel!
