Q: What’s the difference between a babysitter and a nanny?

Babysitters and nannies share the same primary responsibility of providing safe and enriching care for your child, but there are a few differences between them. Babysitters are typically hired for occasional work on an irregular schedule. If you’re looking for last-minute care for date night, or the occasional few hours after school, a babysitter is a great option. Nannies, on the other hand, 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. 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 babysitters interact with my child?

Babysitters 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, babysitters on Sittercity are prepared to engage them in a nurturing way.

I'm currently pursuing a degree in Elementary Education with the goal of becoming a dedicated and inspiring teacher. Education has always been my passion, and I'm excited to be turning that passion into a lifelong career. I'm already gaining valuable hands-on experience by working at a school, where I support students and staff while learning more every day about what it means to be an educator. Helping children grow, learn, and thrive is something I deeply care about, and I’m committed to making a positive impact in the classroom and beyond. I can’t wait to have a classroom of my own and create a space where students feel seen, supported, and inspired to learn.
