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 Alli, and I am currently welcoming new kiddos to join me at BoBo & Friends Childcare, a nurturing in-home daycare located in New Richmond. After having my son, I experienced firsthand how challenging it can be to find reliable, safe, and affordable childcare with someone you truly trust. That experience inspired me to create a childcare program rooted in trust, consistency, and genuine care. I grew up as the oldest in a family of five, so caring for others has always come naturally to me. I’ve always had a strong caretaker instinct, paired with a big heart and a playful spirit. I’m a natural empath, and children tend to gravitate toward that warmth and energy. Professionally, I bring a wide range of experience in childcare. I’ve worked as a daycare teacher, nanny, and site lead for a before- and after-school program at an elementary school. Caring for children has always been my passion, and I’m incredibly grateful to now pursue a career I love while also being home with my son. At BoBo & Friends Childcare, I offer: • Full-Time, Part-Time, and Drop-In Care • Monday–Friday | 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM • Small child-to-adult ratios for individualized attention • Daily age-appropriate cognitive learning, and activities that strengthen both fine and large motor skills • A balance of structured routines and play-based learning • A warm, family-style environment with the organization of a center I am CPR and First Aid certified and have completed a recent background check. 📧 For enrollment details, please email: boboandfriends.childcare@yahoo.com

I am a 4th grade teacher looking for a job to fill some of my free time. Last December, I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls with a degree in elementary education and early childhood education. I also love being active and playing sports. I have been babysitting for family friends, community members, cousins, and more since I was about thirteen. I grew up on a dairy farm and had to help out with daily chores, so again, I love being active and being outside. I have babysat multiple kids at one time, with ages of newborns to teens. I really enjoy hanging out with children, hence my career choice, and I have a lot of patience. I can’t wait to meet you and be the right fit for you and your family!
