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 names Paige Hagner. I am a 23 year old Registered Nurse working on a postpartum mom/baby unit! I recently graduated from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. I have been babysitting since I was 12 and as a nanny the past 4 summers. I also ran cross country and track while in college so I am very active. I adore newborns but am open to any age of children as I have experience with kids up to 12 years old. I am interested in occasional sitting, such as date nights, weekends, or half days!

In the Milwaukee area during my break, looking for work! Looking for a fun babysitter for your kids? I have you covered! Hi, I'm Evan! I'm currently studying elementary education at UW-Whitewater. I have worked extensively with kids the last few years at several jobs; outside of babysitting I previously worked at a day camp for 2 summers, and a day care during school months since February 2022. As I alluded to I think my biggest strength is being able to really connect with kids and be a fun caregiver! I find that kids almost always enjoy my company and the feeling is often mutual- it's been that way since I was a kid and a role model for younger kids. I've had kids I've worked with tell me directly that I'm a great caregiver! I am certified in both first aid and CPR and will do other work you desire such as cleaning. I'd love to be able to help you out, let me know if you're interested!
