Families find trustworthy child care providers on Sittercity who are passionate about providing safe and enriching care for their children. Many providers report they are First Aid and CPR certified to provide the best care for your family.

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.

I've been babysitting since I was 13 or so and I've always loved it. Recently I started doing more nannying on a consistent basis rather than sporadic, but I'm open to anything. I've grown up with younger cousins of different ages and my sister had a baby a couple years ago, so I have experience with children of all ages. I also babysit a girl with special needs, so I'm familiar with how to properly do so for the most part. I'm always down for going and doing activities or having a more laid back time, it all depends on what you prefer.

Hi there! I’m Aubrie — a caring, dependable, and fun babysitter with five years of paid experience caring for children from newborns up to 12 years old. I absolutely love working with kids and helping them learn, play, and feel safe while their parents are away. I’ve also spent time in the classroom — I was a one-year-old assistant teacher for a year and a two-year-old assistant teacher for six months, which taught me how to handle routines, group play, and early learning activities. I’m Safe Sitter certified, so safety and responsibility are always my top priorities. I love doing crafts, reading stories, and creating a calm, positive environment where kids can be themselves. Whether you need help for a date night, a regular sitter, or occasional care, I’ll make sure your little ones are in good hands and having a great time!
