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.

I have been babysitting for about 8 years now. I have worked at a childcare center on base when I lived in California and also did a class in which I actively worked with the kids at the childcare center at my college and made lesson plans and observed children and their developmental skills. I have known that I wanted to work with kids for a long time, which is the reason I have pursued and will keep pursuing an education in childcare. :)

I’m a patient, dependable sitter with 7 years of experience caring for children. Growing up in a family of 10, I naturally took on the role of helping raise my younger siblings, which gave me a deep understanding of child care from an early age. I also have professional experience working part-time as a sitter for a toddler over the past year. I’m CPR certified and have experience with children of all ages, particularly toddlers and young kids. I love doing creative and engaging activities that make kids smile and help them learn. I’m great at math and English and happy to help with homework, and I pride myself on being calm, patient, and a strong communicator. I want to make this job as smooth and supportive as possible for both kids and parents. I currently attend the University of Omaha, where I’m studying criminal justice, and I’ve been living independently in my own apartment since I was 17. I have a reliable source of transportation and am available for most, if not all, of your family’s needs—including emergencies, overnights, and last-minute care. I’m excited to bring my love for kids and positive attitude to families who need a sitter they can count on. Feel free to reach out to set up a call or ask for references!
