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 love seeing the child grow to be an amazing person. Kids are truly blessed and amazing. The children today are the future of tomorrow. I have experience with taking care of kids in DV shelters. And in my family. I’m pursuing to get COR certified. A child’s safety is everything. I can’t wait to meet your little angel. Truly. The skills I have. Treating them with the respect anyone deserves. They are tiny humans, and still deserve the care of any other child despite their gender or identity. Religion and politics aside. The children come first. My family are last when it comes to serving your family. I work holidays and week days, I can always take the bus. I can work 8am until evening. If necessary, Midnight. As well as noon hours. Your child is still growing. And you need time to relax as well. The super mom/dad/dads/moms you all need a break and a glass of wine or a cold drink. You can rely on me with your trust.
