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.

Hey I’m Kaitlyn, and I’m looking to switch from my current job to nannying full time. I have a 7 year old daughter of my own so needless to say I have plenty of experience changing diapers, feeding, potty training, patience and of course time for snuggles and playing pretend! I have my own transportation, and I am actually a licensed minister and notary public in the state of WV as well. I look forward to hearing from you!

I’ve always loved working with children and have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for my 10 nieces and nephews, who range from ages 1 to 10. I’ve been babysitting them since they were born, so I’m very comfortable with infants, toddlers, and older children. I also know how to perform CPR, though I’m not currently certified. I’m patient, observant, and dependable, and I enjoy helping children learn and grow. Whether it’s assisting with schoolwork, keeping them engaged in fun activities, or simply making sure they feel safe and cared for, I put my full attention into the kids I’m watching. I recently graduated high school and plan to attend college to study respiratory therapy. I bring a caring personality, strong sense of responsibility, and a calm attitude to every babysitting job. Parents can count on me to provide a safe, positive, and supportive environment for their children.
