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 love being with kids! I’ve worked at 3 elementary schools as a para, where I’ve had the opportunity to work one-on-one with kids who needed extra support, as well as in general education and special education classes. I have also been babysitting since I was 11 years old and worked as a day camp counselor at the ymca for a summer. I nannied for a family I went to church with one summer as well. I’m very flexible, patient, responsible, and reliable. Working with children is something I genuinely enjoy, and I would love the opportunity to become someone a family can trust and rely on!

Hi. My name is Colleen, but I go by my middle name, Bethie. I am 41 years old, and I love babies and kids. I grew up with many siblings and I've done baby sitting since I was ten for family and friends for all ages of children. I can't remember a time when children weren't part of my life. I have done various on call babysitting jobs as well as scheduled or daily ones. I have worked in several different nanny positions where I was the child's mother for days and months at a time. I don't tend children with the TV or the internet. I work with them hands on in crafts, art projects, playing games, reading books, singing, cooking, cleaning, gardening, and whatever else interests them. I've taught school for grades 1-4 in a home school setting, and I've also taught PE for four years to all ages of children. I love kids and they love me! I have a high school diploma and I was trained in First Aid and CPR. I'm quite an active, scheduled, on time, patient, loving person. I have a car and I am very reliable. I love helping kids and babies learn new things and watching them grow. I love and teach them as if they were my own!
