What is the difference between a Nanny and a Babysitter?
Babysitting is a term used for occasional evening and weekend care of newborn babies,
infants, toddlers, preschool and school age children, and younger teenagers.
Babysitters are people who enjoy spending time with children evenings and weekends,
generally to supplement their other income. They come in all shapes and sizes, from
older teenagers, to moms and grandparents looking to earn a bit extra, to trained
and sometimes highly educated individuals who's work in a regular day job is in
child care or education. Babysitting is usually seen as the occasional evening and
weekend child care versus a permanent day time child care position filled by a Nanny.

A babysitter looks after your children while you are out in the evenings or on
weekends so that you can socialize, go out for a meal, visit friends or attend a
meeting. Basically, a babysitter helps you keep or rediscover a social life and maybe
your sanity too!
Babysitters are personally interviewed and screened by our professionals, including
background checks, reference checks PRIOR to posting on the website. They must
complete CPR within 30 days of posting their profile on the website.
A Nanny is an experienced, qualified, and sometimes educated permanent or temporary
daytime caregiver who cares for different ages of children in the parents' own home.
They perform al of the child care duties a parent would be doing: feeding, playing,
bathing, cleaning in regard to the children, taking to activities, lessons,
preschool etc. Occasionally the duties may include light housekeeping, shopping,
laundry and meal preparation. A Nanny is someone who chooses working with
children as their primary employment. They care for children during the working
weekday. As a permanent or temporary daytime caregiver, a nanny is the more
expensive option.
Nannies are personally interviewed and screened by our professionals, including
background checks, reference checks, and motor vehicle checks PRIOR to posting
on the website. They must complete CPR within 30 days of posting their profile on
the website.
