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.

Ms. Jay has been with us since February 2019, and we hope to have her for a very long time. She has been the best nanny we have ever had. She is dependable, punctual, and very caring for our children. We have two children, 6 months and almost 4 years old. My older daughter asks for her when I am here. She loves her dearly. In the time that she has been with us, she has started to teach our children Spanish. My daughter knows a few words and her numbers in Spanish. She also goes over my daughters preschool workbooks to help her with writing and words. Not only does she care for our children, but she is always helping around the house. When I come home from work, it is way less stress. She works with us part time.

Hello! My name is Amelia "Milly" Jackson, and I am an incoming Tulsa Law student. I'll begin classes in August of 2025 and am looking for families who need the occasional sitter. From a large family of 10 kids, I have experience with not only watching my younger sibling but also church nurseries. I had multiple babysitting positions throughout high school and would love to find a few new families in Tulsa. My schedule for my first year at law school is likely to be hectic, but if you need weekend or evening help, I would love to speak with you! I'm always happy to help with meals, cleaning, school work, etc. please don't hesitate to shoot me a message if you have any questions or think I'd be a good fit!
