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.

The first experience I had babysitting was a church neighbors son when I was fifteen it was a great experience and from then on I have really enjoyed taking care of kids! I really like doing activities with the kids like sports, art, reading, and learning. Safety is always my first priority. My experience with kids I have gotten from babysitting, shadowing nannies, vacation bible school leading, and kids summer camps. I looking forward for a chance to be the best babysitter that will fit for you!

I love kids. I have two kids of my own, a 1 year old son and a 4 year old daughter. I have experience with children since I was 13 years old. Having children of my own, has taught me so much and how every child has their own personality and learns at their own pace. I can assure you that your child/children will be in good hands.

Creating a safe and loving environment for children is a goal that I have for every family that I step into. Being active and engaging with creative minds is mostly how I connect with children. I am more than comfortable with infants and young children. I have experience as a nanny, in school settings and as an RBT for kiddos 2-8 with autism. Safety is also always a priority when being around young children. I can't wait to hear from you, thanks!

Hi! My name is Kami! I am a 21 year old college student studying to become an elementary school teacher. I’ve always loved working with kids, and i’m passionate about helping them learn and grow. I have experience in the healthcare field, which has taught me how to stay calm in stressful situations, be super detail-oriented, and communicate clearly and kindly. These skills have really helped me when it comes to babysitting. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, reliable, and I like getting creative. I like to play games, do crafts, read books, and go for walks outside. I also am able to help with any homework. I always try to create a safe, positive space where kids feel comfortable and happy! I’d love to get to know your family and see if I’d be a good fit!
