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.

Hi! My name is Lauryn Roff! I am twenty-two-years old. I have been a nanny for the last six years and a babysitter for the last ten. I have had the opportunity to be a primary childcare provider at a daycare working inside their infant room. While there, I was responsible for four infants, ages one year and younger, full-time. Along with that, I have been a weekly volunteer in nurseries, daycares, and events for children and youth at my attending church, for the last ten years. I love children and my hope is to be a stay-at-home mom to a big family some day! It brings me so much joy to watch children grow and learn new things and I love being a part of the process!

Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. I like being someone they can trust and feel comfortable with. I also enjoy planning activities, keeping them entertained, and making sure they feel happy and cared for while their parents are away. What experience do you have? I have experience babysitting for family and people in my community, including watching children of different ages. I’ve helped with things like playing with kids, preparing snacks or meals, helping with routines, and making sure they are safe and engaged. I also have experience supervising children in active environments, which has helped me stay responsible and alert. What skills and training do you have? I am certified in CPR, First Aid, and Lifeguarding through the American Red Cross, which means I am trained to respond quickly and safely in emergencies. I’m responsible, patient, and good at communicating with kids. I also have strong safety awareness, especially in active environments like pools or outdoor settings. I’m reliable, organized, and comfortable handling multiple kids at once.
