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.

Q: How does a child care provider interact with my child?

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

I’m a caregiver who loves to go above and beyond. Throughout my years, I’ve worked in both daycare centers and in home settings. I try and stick away from screen time because I believe children were meant to play outside and build positive relationships through face to face interactions. I’m very creative and can easily come up with things to do on the spot. I currently teach dance in Roberts, WI to ages 3-15. I’m looking for family’s who need a little extra help in the evenings and weekends (Friday-Sunday).
