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 do nannies interact with my child?

Nannies 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. Wherever your child's interests lie, nannies on Sittercity can engage them in a nurturing way.

Last-minute, school and tutoring, date nights—find the right babysitters for you.

Hello there! My names Monique and I absolutely love children. It has been something I've been passionate about ever since I was 14, yes that's pretty young but I've always enjoyed playing with my little cousins and teaching them new things. I was a helper in a preschool, I've done lots of volunteer work at day cares, and I help at a children retreat once a year. I've been watching kids for about 15 years now, from babysitting jobs to watching my own cousins. I do have some medical experience. Working with children and watching them grow is such a rewarding experience.

I love being a sitter because kids are always teaching you something new, they’re fun creative and full of energy, everyday is something different in the best way.I’ve been babysitting since around 10 years old starting with my own siblings and cousins.By 13 I was babysitting other families whom I still do today.I am 18 years old just graduating from Paso Robles High School 2025, while I was there I spent 3 years taking child development classes where I worked hands on in the on campus preschool as a student teacher where I also got my CPR certification.I also spent years as a cheerleader where I would help coach middle school and running youth clinics from ages 4-13.I am now attending cosmetology school in Paso, but working with kids has always been a huge part of my life and something I genuinely enjoy.I love creating a fun safe environment for every child in my care.

I am a dedicated, patient and caring individual who always puts the safety and needs of a child first. I am twenty two years old and have been an active child care provider for a decade. I have provided care for both boys and girls ranging in age from three months to twelve years. I have plenty of experience with children who require extra attentive care including those with Autism, Reactive Attachment Disorder and Down Syndrome. My day-to-day duties usually include supervising and participating in play in a safe environment (both outdoors and indoors), light meal preparation, dressing the child and making sure that he or she stays clean, and some light housekeeping. Previous Child Development courses help me understand the importance of brain stimulating and engaging activities. With that being said, I love making arts and crafts, enjoy doing puzzles and playing games, and am always happy to participate in sing-alongs and story times. I also hold a special place in my heart for any and all furry friends! I’m very flexible with hours/schedule changes and pay rates. I’m in the business to help out any families in need and to help enrich the lives of today’s youth. Feel free to ask any questions you may have regarding my profile or my experience! :)
