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 love being a sitter because I enjoy spending time with children and helping them feel safe, happy, and engaged. It’s rewarding to watch them learn, play, and grow, and I love being a positive influence in their lives. I have experience caring for children of various ages, including 9 months to 14 years. I have helped with homework, prepared meals, supervised playtime, and ensured their daily routines are followed. I have also been responsible for my younger foster siblings and family members, giving me hands-on experience in childcare. I am skilled at creating fun and educational activities, handling daily routines, and maintaining a safe environment. I am patient, reliable, and attentive to children’s needs, which ensures I can handle emergencies calmly and responsibly. Background checks on this app cost a lot but I just turned 18 and I’ve never been in trouble with the cops.
