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.

Hello! As my title states, I have four wonderful children, all of whom are in college (2 undergrad and 2 grad school). I work full time during the week as a nanny for two beautiful families here in Charlottesville! I am currently looking to sit, supervise, play Legos, dress-up, do a puzzle or build a castle out of blocks on Friday and/or Saturday evenings with one or more kiddos. Driving is not an issue neither are animals- so, if you're looking for a little older, yet wiser, supervisor/ playmate for your child(ren).... I'm available.

I love babysitting because it gives me the chance to create a safe and fun space for kids to grow and learn. I’ve cared for my five cousins, whom I lived with growing up, as well as other children of various ages. I’ve managed everything from meals and playtime to homework and bedtime. I’m organized, patient, and always ensure the kids are safe, happy, and well cared for. It’s incredibly rewarding to be a positive role model in their lives.
