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.

Hi! My name is Jaidyn. I am looking for something to do that I enjoy. I have been nannying/babysitting for 6 years so I have a lot of experience with child care. I live in Wentzville and have lived here for about 9 years. I just recently left the goddard school and now searching for a babysitting/nannying position. I enjoy working in childcare because it allows me to contribute to children's growth and development in meaningful ways. Each day presents new opportunities to engage, teach, and support children as they reach important milestones. I think I would be the perfect fit for families looking for someone to care for their children as much as they do. In my free time I love to go on walks and spend time with family.
