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 name is Aubrey! I'm 22. This past May, I graduated from Truman State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and a minor in Musical Theatre. I have lots of childcare experience. I've babysat family, friends, and neighbors. I've also worked as a camp instructor for the past three summers, which required me to create lesson plans full of educational and engaging activities for my campers. My work there has left me with a wealth of fun ideas to keep kiddos occupied. I am very organized and reliable. I am willing to help in anyway you need. I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks! Also, I've been background checked through Checkr on another nanny website. I don't think I'm able to link the results through this website as they want me to pay again to be background checked again. I'd be happy to provide the results to families directly. Thanks again!

Why I Love Being a Sitter I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy working with children and being a part of their growth and development. I love creating a safe, loving, and supportive environment where children can learn, explore, and feel comfortable being themselves. Building relationships with children and their families is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. I enjoy helping children learn new skills, discover their interests, and reach new milestones while making sure they feel cared for and supported. What Experience Do I Have? I work as a full-time childcare provider and have experience caring for children in a professional childcare setting. In addition to my full-time work, I have experience babysitting for families on the side. Through these experiences, I have developed an understanding of children’s daily routines, individual needs, and the importance of providing consistent, attentive care. I am comfortable helping with everyday childcare responsibilities, engaging children in age-appropriate activities, and creating a positive environment where they can thrive. I am currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree in psychology, which further strengthens my interest in understanding children’s behavior, emotions, and development. I am currently offering full-time childcare. What Skills and Training Do I Have? I am CPR certified and First Aid certified, and I understand the importance of prioritizing children’s safety and well-being. Working in childcare has helped me develop strong communication, patience, responsibility, and problem-solving skills. I understand that every child is different and that providing quality care means being attentive to their individual personalities, needs, and developmental stages. My background in childcare, combined with my studies in psychology, allows me to approach caregiving with compassion, understanding, and a genuine interest in helping children grow. I strive to build trusting relationships with families and provide dependable, nurturing care that gives parents peace of mind.
