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.

Kim has watched our toddler several times. She is consistent and on-time. She is exuberant and genuinely enjoys children. She helps out with cleaning during nap time and sometimes even brings activities for our son. Would recommend!

Hello! I have been a babysitter since the young age of 12 and absolutely love working with kids. I have worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant for over 2 years with memory care and geriatric patients. While I absolutely love working with the older generation I think it is time for a change of pace. I have worked with up to 6 children at once and have worked with children of all ages. I am pet friendly and am open to just about anything you can throw at me. I am so excited about this new opportunity and am excited to meet you all.

I am a fun loving and hard-working. I have lots of experience with children 15 years to be exact . I worked at Penfield Children’s Center with infants as well as toddlers. I volunteered many places with children. I babysat all my little cousins. I’m a stay at home wife! My husband works crazy hours as he is a county sheriff, so I have plenty time to give . I have always been great with kids. I also have a baby daughter but our families are always available to watch her . I am certified in first aid as well.

Amazing. She is always here when I need her and is so good to my child and my dog. She will tidy my home up for me so I don’t come home to chaos as well. She’s just all around great!

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!
