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.

AIDA O.

We’ve been incredibly lucky to have her care for our son since he was 5 months old. She is punctual, reliable, professional, and so loving and patient with him. She always kept him engaged by singing songs and caring for him like family, and she even helped with his laundry and folding clothes without ever being asked. She was also so flexible whenever we needed extra time or last-minute help. Truly anyone would be lucky to have her as a babysitter — our only complaint is that she’s so amazing, she’s always booked and hard to schedule!

Hi! My name is Ariana and I am 18 years old as well as a recent high school graduate. I am the oldest in my household with one younger sister who is 5 years old. I have been babysitting since 2018 but started caring for children at my churches child care at a younger age. I thrive to create joyful, fun, and secure environment where kids can feel like they can be themselves as well as explore, learn, and grow as individuals. I have dedication to care for each child differently as I understand that every little one has their own unique personality and interests. I will bring patience, creativity, and a strong sense of responsibility to each babysitting session, ensuring not just supervision but also an engaging and fun experience for your little ones. Your child's safety, happiness, and well being are my top priorities! :)

I am a 21 year old woman currently working the night shift for an elderly woman whom I have been caring for about 5 years now. I do not have kids of my own but I have a 6 year old niece and a 10 year old nephew who I am very close with as we live together and spend a lot of time with eachother. I also volunteer at their elementary school in my free time as my niece was having a hard time being away from her mom. I have much experience with children, adult and elderly behaviors and needs. My brother is 15 years old and is Autistic along with Intellectual disabilities including short tempered behaviors and high anxiety. I am very mindful of different wants and needs of specific individuals thanks to my experience. I am very patient and understanding. I am kind, caring and thoughtful but most importantly I am trustworthy and honest. I am a safe person for those in need of care which I know is unfortunately difficult to find nowadays.
