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.

Hi! I’m Jasmine, and I’ve always loved working with children and being someone they can feel comfortable and safe around. I have about four years of experience working with children with autism, including children who were nonverbal and used AAC or other forms of communication. I’ve also babysat for families and really enjoy building a bond with the kids I care for. I’m patient, empathetic, dependable, and comfortable handling everything from playtime and meals to routines, homework, and bedtime. I’m also used to staying calm, communicating with parents, and adapting to each child’s individual personality and needs. I love making kids feel heard, supported, and able to be themselves, while also keeping their safety and routines a priority. I’d love to find a family I can build a trusting, dependable relationship with!

I am the oldest of all of my siblings, cousins and basically “kids” of my family. I have always loved helping raise kids and even lived with my aunt for a year to take care of my cousins when they were little because she worked. My youngest brother is 8 so I’ve always helped out with raising him as well. I’m extremely passionate about kids and love watching them grow and change as they get older!
