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.

Hello! My involvement with children of all ages has been since I was 12 years old. My life was babysitting, housecleaning, running errands, and simply doing what families needed me to do. I graduated with a bachelors in social work and minor in criminology, therefore I’ve done social work all my life. I’ve been a youth social worker at the school, crisis responder, juvenile probation officer, and now working for MNPrairie County Alliance in Steele County as an On-Going Social Worker in Child and Family department. I’ve had lots of training and skills throughout my education and experience. My love for children and helping families will continue☺️

I am on the newer side to caring for children, but I have taken care of my younger brothers all their lives. I am working on getting my CPR and First Aid Certificate. I am also really engaging in community activities and try to stay away from screens if there are other options. I have my own car and am comfortable with animals. Please feel free to contact me and we can have a chat.

I am currently a Certified Nursing Assistant that is enrolled in nursing school. I have been babysitting since I was about 10 years old, but I have a big family so I've always been around kids. I am BLS and CPR certified in infants, children, and adults. I have experience babysitting children aged from newborns to 15 years old. I love being around and taking care of children and I am currently going to school to become a pediatric nurse! I am also comfortable doing any pet care or household chores that need to be done.
